[OpenID] We Need Less Bureaucracy But Also More Transparency

>I keep wanting to see us move to Google Groups

So long as we can make clear that it isn't an endorsement? ;)

I understand that Google has an interest in *their* system being 
used, and offering a mere publicly searchable archive (open Gmail 
account subscribed to the list) wouldn't stop users from using their 
*other* systems, but the topology of such a solution resembles the 
idea of UCI: instead of going with a single central interface, users 
go with the list (their 'open' choice) and can login to Google with 
their OpenID's to see an aggregated dataset (or, if they like what 
Google is marketing, opt to upgrade to a Gmail account so they can 
begin integrating their private messages with that dataset, too).
