[OpenID] Eating our own dog food

[Johannes Ernst]

I just realize that the membership pages on openid.net show all http URLs *without* the protocol. E.g the voting page lists the following candidates:

mfrons22.wordpress.com
allentom.com
www.google.com/accounts/o…
bkkissel.myopenid.com
daniel.jacobson.myopenid.…
blame.ca
www.google.com/profiles/d…
=!BF81.FD97.C81B.B4E5
openid.jonathancoffman.co…
josephsmarr.com
=!477C.45CF.CAA7.A71
martin.paljak.pri.ee
www.google.com/accounts/o…
otti.clavid.ch

If we continue to insist that http://XXX and https://XXX are two different OpenIDs, we should not list them this way. (Personally, I don't, but that was the majority view every time somebody asked.)

I also question whether abbreviating OpenIDs is ever a good idea, or whether printing an i-number instead of something human-comprehensible.

Also, while we are on the subject, why not make them all clickable, so we can learn something about the candidates? Remember, this is the original use case for why http URLs as identifiers as opposed to any other identifier. And for voting purposes, that makes every sense in the world as all of the above http OpenIDs would lead to interesting pages about the candidates, if they were clickable that is. The abbreviated ones aren't even copy-pasteable ...


P.S. This is intended to be a bunch of bug reports against the app, not a complaint. ;-) Didn't know where the bug tracking system was so I post it here ;-)
