[OpenID] Fwd: Excellent critique of OpenID usability

# The problem is that it IS, whether we like it or not. I've lost
# count of the number of times I've seen someone smart say "so I
# decided to have a play with OpenID, but after 30 minutes of
# searching I couldn't figure out how to get one so I gave up". That
# just shouldn't happen.

+1 on making openid.net more marketing-dense and end-user oriented and
moving specs / protocol / technical details to something like
developers.openid.net.  It won't hurt this engineer's feelings if
those things are somewhere else.  I'd rather see openid.net be useful
to the (many) people that run away confused; we need them to get
interested!
