<p>What topics should we seed the discussions with?</p>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Also, my thinking is that Satisfaction should be used for
general user/customer support problems (i.e. when people have a problem with
their OpenID, yes, they should go to their provider, but if they forget who
their provider is, if it goes down, or any number of other problems, at least
we can aggregate common answers to such problems for the betterment of the
OpenID brand).</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>For UserVoice, I think we use it to collect ideas and votes
on those ideas — both for the technology and the priorities of the foundation.
Of course nothing on UV will be binding, but these kinds of solutions have a
lower barrier to entry than joining a mailing list.</p>
