Very likely. For this reason, I started this thread in the first  
place ...:

I'd like to assemble a group of like-minded individuals/companies and  
put together the "glue", extra conventions, user interface  
optimizations, whatever is required ... to define an (at least)  
feature-equivalent open technology stack that also equals or beats  
whatever non-open technology stacks may exist. (not specifically  
singling out FaceBook Connect here, as I agree with David on this  
thread that other social networks et al will come up with similar  
things over the next year, too.)

The focus would not be spec development per se, but integration of  
what exists and optimization etc.

Some hands so far were raised, here is another opportunity to say you  
are interested ;-) Please let me know ...

Cheers,


Johannes.
