:P :P ;)

I'm working on an integrated RP, OP, and content publishing engine, 
the latter to address certain security concerns that have probably 
been ignored thus far on account of how dealing with them would 
entail a great deal of complication for users - I'll release it as 
open source when I'm done, but somehow I suspect that licensing will 
not be the greatest barrier to adoption ;)

I'd say less, then. I'm continuing to work on an auxiliary project 
that doesn't require any "leadership" from the community; its 
popularity after release may complement OpenID's popularity and thus 
feed back into the community, but it should proceed about the same 
regardless of what input other members of the community have - though 
I might note that, if the details of my project were available prior 
to release, several people might get a headache and tell me to quit 
it :)
