<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>One potential problem with posting before it’s actually in production is that most readers will expect to be able to try it out immediately. That certainly was the case with the federal government announcement last fall.<BR>

It'd be great if we could get you to write a longer piece when you actually launch this on digg.com <<a href="http://digg.com">http://digg.com</a>> !<BR>

I'm ok with it either way. If you'd rather do two, one now and one later, that's fine. Sounds like there will be more coordinated announcements at the actual release, though.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

We're probably a 2-3 months out from general release, and I'll ping you guys when we're closer to coordinate.<BR>

<BR>
Digg announced today that they’ll be accepting OpenID, and they’re doing a lot of really positive things for Open Standards:<BR>
<BR>
<a href="http://about.digg.com/node/575">http://about.digg.com/node/575</a><BR>
<BR>
This is a great win for OpenID, and I think we should invite Bill Shupp, Digg’s lead developer, to guest author a blog entry on openid.net <<a href="http://openid.net/">http://openid.net/</a>> describing their OpenID and Open Standard initiatives. <BR>
<BR>
Can we go ahead and do this? I think the blog post should coincide with Digg’s production launch, which will be later in Q2.<BR>
