[OpenID] Announcing Glynx: a p2p OpenID provider and platform for social communication

[Greg Rolan]

At the risk of being a little off-topic:

Regarding retroshare/retromessenger:: Whilst the two projects have a 
similar technical basis - they are different in purpose and 
implementation  We started Glynx as an online private identity 
management platform. As described on our site - we believe that identity 
management should neither require yet-another-id solutions (like the 
retro projects ) or third-party identity custodianship

Which is also a nod towards Peter (thanks for your supportive comments) .

As an implementation detail, we also think it is important to be able to 
do robust authenticatin  with self-provisioned end-users and without 
them needing to know that they are doing e.g. PKI under the covers.

regards,

Greg.
