[Marketing] Website Design - Get an OpenID Link

[Recordon, David]

While everything you say is spot on, I think openid.net is already expected to serve end users as there is not yet a better resource.  Through this conversation we shouldn't lose focus on openid.net, but I do see it prudent to work toward multiple sites with different audiences.

Only the important question to answer is "for who is OpenID.net"?

- If is just for the community, link or no link, no very important,  a
little cleaning on the Wiki ! who will use the brush? ;-)

- But, if is necessary to adapt openid.net (now) to the "End Users", -
because if my mother read "What is OpenID?" = she understand nothing! (And
yet she likes already OpenID) ==> That will require a greater adaptation...
that returns to the email of David " Revamping the Website" (and my answer)

I've lost count of the number of people who have told me "I wanted to
give OpenID a go, but it took me the best part of an hour just to get
one for myself so there's no way I'll use it on my site". This is a
very real problem, and a major barrier to adoption. The political side
of it is tricky but needs to be figured out.

Foundation membership sounds like it could be a solution here - not a
perfect one, but I'm pretty sure a perfect one doesn't (and can't)
exist.
