[OpenID] Changes to the website coming soon ...

[Drummond Reed]

It looks like the WordPress/MT question is settled for the moment so nothing
more to say there, except a +1 to the community supporting
vendors/tools/products that support OpenID.

I very much looking forward to the new website that will make OpenID more
approachable to a wide audience.

Speaking of that, as more XRI/i-names users ask about OpenID compatability,
I'm hoping this is one topic that will be addressed at the new site. I'm
well aware that not all OpenID libraries/relying parties support XRI yet,
but IMHO it would be much better for the new website to be proactive about
that and include information about XRI and i-names compatability similar to
what Plaxo included at the end of their excellent OpenID relying party
tutorial (http://www.plaxo.com/api/openid_recipe).

I'm happy to help with text on that subject for the site, FAQ, etc. if that
helps.
