+1; it would be easier to perceive/understand OpenID qua "global 
movement" if we could see, at-a-glance, the activity levels from 
foreign communities. Currently, just from following this list, it is 
easy to perceive NO activity from foreign territories (with the 
notable exception of Nat's occasional updates), and combining all 
lists into one would make filtering for local news more difficult. 
Also, newcomers to OpenID probably won't be signing up for the lists 
right away (to learn about it), nor are the archives easy enough to 
browse (from openid.net/ home) that newcomers to that site would 
easily stumble upon them; displaying worldwide activity through the 
website interface seems like the easiest publicity.
