[OpenID] FW: Facebook Cooperation with German Email Providers?

[Chris Messina]

Great — that wasn't the feedback [1][2][3] from Clay Johnson from the
Sunlight Foundation, so it'd be great work on simplifying the process of
implementing OpenID — including better guidelines on UX (which have been in
the works for a long time!).

I'm curious if they used an existing library for their implementation?
