[OpenID] Interop (was: RE: Conformance and Interop...)

[Granqvist, Hans]

I've previously lead interops and I'll be willing to do the 
same for OpenID 2.0 provided:

* This group votes in majority that interop is needed

* This group sets up a schedule with deadlines:
  ** when to freeze 2.0 spec for interop testing, 
  ** when interop scenarios need to be finalized, 
  ** when interop testing needs to be concluded for 2.0 announcement

  (I think the spec should be frozen < 1 month, with
  scenarios < 2 months, and final spec < 3 months)

* There is a place off *.openid.net to keep the documents and
  perhaps even running an "interop.openid.net" service a la
  openidenabled.

* I am joined by at least one more who is passionate about 
  interop and with solid OpenID knowledge (probably most readers
  here) ;)

What you say group?  I think the WSS interop (see attached
document, unfortunately I could only find a draft at the moment)
is a bit more complex than what we need for OpenID, but it's
a good example on the level of what I think is needed.
