[OpenID] SNR

Sat Nov 28 16:59:15 UTC 2009

Agreed, there's quite a lot of discussion here that may not be of interest to all the subscribers, but as Chris points out, the OIDF doesn't have the resources to moderate the list.  Rather we'd like to encourage people to utilize specific lists for more narrowly targeted topics when possible and only use this list when it doesn't fit one of the other lists or you feel it will be of interest to the majority of subscribers.  If we need more categories of lists for specific topical discussions we can easily set them up, just ask.

You can see the list of the current topics at http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/

Even this thread has a low signal-to-noise ratio.

Perhaps part of the problem is that it's unclear who the moderators

are, or should be. Many if the creators or original proponents that

used this list have moved on or gotten too busy to participate here

and as such, there is little steering going on here.

It would seem like a useful exercise then to figure out who is

perceived to be a moderator, who wants to do it, and how they should

fulfill that role.

I too would like to see more substantive, respectful discourse on this

list, but am far too overstretched to be on the line to moderate it

effectively.

Chris
