[OpenID] Higgens

[Paul Trevithick]

Scott,

 

Higgins is not an IBM project. It's owned by the community of committers
most of whom do not work for IBM (nor Eclipse!). The Eclipse Foundation is
just like Apache or Mozilla. Anyone can propose a project and host the
project there.

 

FWIW, I think bridging the OpenID, CardSpace, etc. islands, adding more
direct user control over their data, enhancing privacy, working with the
policy community (e.g. at Berkman) on privacy, etc. is reasonably "far
reaching."

 

What "crisis" did you have in mind?

 

-Paul

Ah, is that all? Heh. Crisis averted. Thanks. I guess I figured since it was
IBM and Eclipse that it'd be more complex and far-reaching.

 

Thanks,

Higgins is a InfoCard selector and has plans on speaking OpenID.

Can someone explain to me how Higgins[1] fits into the
OpenID/CardSpace/Identity 2.0 ecosystem? I can see how OpenID/CardSpace
neatly help each other, but Higgins seems like a "me too" and I'm sure I'm
missing something.
