[Marketing] Website Design - Get an OpenID Link

[Kevin D. Fox]

I agree there needs to be an obvious way for people who go to OpenID.net 
to get an OpenID account.  A conspicuous link on the front page to a 
list of quality providers would get my vote.  Since there are a few 
OpenID account providers would it be acceptable to decide on a list of 
providers for people to choose from?

At the very least a link from the OpenID.net front page to the OpenID 
provider page on the wiki 
(http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/OpenIDServers) would be step in the 
right direction.
