[OpenID board] [board-private] FW: PAPE Specification Review Period Commencing

[Mike Jones]

Because of the post that was made the general audience knows that we're making progress on completing a specification.  That's a good thing.  So I reject the notion that this post wasn't useful to the general audience because if they read even the title they'll come away with that message.

Have we beat this horse to death yet? ;-)

I'm sorry, but every post should be targetted at a more general
audience. This is the front page of the OpenID website that we're
talking about! (though it is possible to post without it showing on re
frontpage as well)
