[OpenID] Methods for encouraging adoption of OpenID

[SitG Admin]

Aside from the main features of OpenID itself; we can advertise 
those, but it might not mean much to a normal user.

For instance - taking some of the most-visited pages on a site, and 
classifying them as "OpenID Content": pages that someone must log in 
with OpenID to view. No other special privileges, but it could at 
least get people used to the idea of logging in that way. Drawbacks: 
losing out on the visitors who don't feel like logging in just to 
gain access to what might otherwise be a public web site.

I've been toying with the idea of rotating a few pages at a time into 
an "available to the general public" area, where visitors can get an 
idea of what else they might find inside the site; new articles 
might, for the first week, be exclusively accessible to those logged 
in with OpenID, before spending 3 weeks out in the open and "archives 
accessible only with OpenID". Old links would be intercepted and told 
"Log in with OpenID to see the archive of this material.", and even 
the absence of old links wouldn't necessarily mean it was all 
forgotten about; someone already logged in would be able to recommend 
the page to others, adding the caveat "You'll have to log in using an 
OpenID."

Of course, anyone opposed to this would be able to archive each 
article during its time in that 3-week window, and mirror it 
elsewhere for all to see. But that's where existing copyright law 
comes into play, I think :)
