[OpenID board] Webware 100 Press Release

How about having an official openid blog?

This would avoid having to issue a press releases and allow for initiative
related messages to be communicated from the source. Those who monitor such
things would then have a place to look.

I know there is the mailing list for things like, but only certain types of
people are willing to scroll through the archives.

Cheers,

Justen
