To yours and Luke's question: the basic purpose here is to have one convenient place where people can *check out* OpenID libraries. <div><br></div><div>OpenIDEnabled.com historically served that purpose, but it's hard to manage access and to maintain the site — and it's not well integrated with the OpenID.net site. Moving to Google Code wouldn't necessarily bring about tighter integration with OpenID.net, but at maintaining the site wouldn't require additional resources (the design of OpenIDEnabled.com leaves something to be desired, not to mention the conflict created by the RPX ads on the site — though of course we appreciated Janrain's hosting and contributions to the libraries!).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Furthermore, rather than having all the work go on on the Google Code site, people could pick and choose where to host their projects, but we would simply provide a checkout from the Google Code site, again, making it easy to stay up to date with the latest libraries.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is the model that I've used with the OAuth libraries and it seems to have worked out okay:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://oauth.googlecode.com">http://oauth.googlecode.com</a> and <a href="http://oauth.net/code">http://oauth.net/code</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Does that make this clearer? I'm not interested in forcing people to use Google Code to work on the libraries, but I do want one consistent, easy to maintain place to get the libraries, where it's also possible to delegate access to various community members to help update and maintain the content.</div>

<div><br></div><div>If this motion passes, Dewitt will unlock the project and assign myself, Dave Recordon, Will Norris, Luke Shepard and Brian Ellin as the initial project admins. </div><div><br></div><div>I will commit to migrating the content on OpenIDEnabled.com to either the Google Code wiki or the OpenID wiki itself.<br>
