[Marketing] [OpenID] Website Being Updated Today

[David Recordon]

I still think you're missing a point here, OpenID.net is not the home  
of the Foundation.  The Foundation owns it in trust for the  
community.  It is the community's website and many people looking to  
use OpenID (not those who have providers themselves) really want a  
simple way to get an OpenID.  This feedback has been heard loudly  
both from perspective users of OpenID as well as Relying Parties who  
are confused where they should link their own users to learn about  
OpenID and get one.
