[OpenID] [xri-comment] My Feedback for XRD Vrsion 1.0

[John Bradley]

I do intend to run once nominations open.  (If I can round up the  
nominators)

I am hopping to better my previous last place finish:)

I don't think putting moderation on the general list is appropriate.

It is true that a small number of people dominate the conversation and  
things can get overheated.

However moderation is a cure worse than the disease in this case.

However one thing we should do is establish a openID-Announce list so  
that people who don't want to be overwhelmed by debates that may not  
be relevant to them can still receive important announcements.

One of the large IDP's was asking this morning where the best place to  
make an announcement about a proposed change (bug fix) could be made  
so that RP's would see it.

I think a announce list with a higher signal to noise ratio would be a  
good thing.  I can see that being reasonably moderated.

I am happy to suffer the slings and arrows on the general list.
