working draft ready for publication. This was a specific take away action
item from the IIW OP Office Hours session. It may not be perfect, and it
will certainly evolve as we progress, but let’s get something that’s
good enough out there to show the great progress that OPs are making and to
highlight areas where we’re still expanding and improving. If we
can’t find a home for it on the OIDF website, JanRain is glad to host it
since our clients and prospects are always asking for this information.</span></p><div class="im">

The next page they visit is Getting Started (<a href="http://openid.net/add-openid/add-getting-started/" target="_blank">http://openid.net//add-openid/add-getting-started/</a>).
I think this kind of detailed information belongs on that page.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Concrete proposals:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. The matrix feels more like second-tier documentation...
while it is very valuable information, we should be careful about just adding
links and tabs to the website without longer term consideration. Can we provide
a link that reads "Learn more about current [OpenID provider
capability]" at the very bottom of the "Add OpenID" page?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. That matrix is full of information...! And ugly as heck.
It's worth cleaning it up if we're going to present it for public consumption.
Can we get Darrin or someone else with a design eye to take a crack at making
it public-presentable?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Can we focus the take-aways from the matrix to a few
clear items? Specifically, I think saying who provides verified email, profile
data, and who has access to what number of active monthly users are the
operative bits of information. The current matrix weaves together technical
capabilities with stats that we can use to argue for adopting OpenID. At the
very least, we need to call out the stuff that makes the [business] case for
adopting OpenID in the first place, and THEN provide information that
developers can use.</p>

this matrix just thrown on the site because it's "data complete".</p>
