Just to pile on to this thread a little more...
I'm of the opinion that the sooner we can assemble the Adoption
committee the better -- and as soon as possible after that, decide if
there's a need to break off the Marketing group as well.
* One thing that I would love to try to facilitate is to assemble some
amazing use-cases - maybe they're already published out there
somewhere? - and start deconstructing this problem from the product
perspective. Figure out where we want to go with productizing OpenID
(and associated technologies, be it WRAP, etc) then take it down
another level...
* From there, I wonder if we could figure out a way to articulate the
specific features, functionalities, and technologies it takes to have
a "robust" open identity solution (maybe to include a trust
framework?). Again, some diagrams, use cases, user stories, etc could
tell a really compelling story here.
* From there, I think we'd have a lot of the raw materials needed to
start experimenting with how to package this stuff up.
* Through the packaging process Marketing will get kick-started
Those are just some of the tasks I can imagine the Adoption committee
taking on this year, but the first step is to get it approved and get
people involved! :-)
