[OpenID] ok, so why pbwiki?

[Peter Williams]

I like the idea of the move, as it stresses the management models some more, and sees if the theory really works. Gets us beyond kerberos, and closed security domain models.

Uci is a lofty goal, as are site/data mashups and ontology driven ui. But, for my part, im willing to learn and listen - but it has to be increasingly real. I cannot take yet another year of pure evangelism. Moving to voting apps ,d third party hosting are exactly the showcases I want to see: funds well spent!

Once msft deliver well architected (ultra business centric) saml and openid middleware, life may be quite different (well, once it reaches v3, anyways).

I'm a little confused, but catching up on a lot of the openid list mail.  Why would
you necessarily move from mediawiki which was functioning fine, but as far as
I can tell, was degraded simply because pages were out-of-date... you what is
to prevent the same thing from happening here?

Regardless of PBwiki's contribution to the cause, what happens to the data/SLA
 if something terrible happens to the commercial PBwiki company,
or for that matter, that it's not open-source.  Also that the logins are controlled
by 'them' rather than what would be considered a secure openid.net server
controlled by the openid foundation, blah blah blah.

I started the new thread because the other one was getting impossible to read
because a lot of people are lazy on cutting out irrelevant parts of conversations
and doing just post-top.
