Which is highly disturbing I think, since the community and foundation
members are kept out of the cycle completly. By contributing, seeing
and participating myself at different open source projects and open
standards foundations I must say that others are extremely capable of
doing (almost) everything in public and keep the community involved and
updated. This includes also organizations probably larger and more
complex than OpenID.<br>
<br>
I think you underestimate the usefulness of a community contributing
and providing assistance also in relation to the one just touched...<br>
