Dear Kevin,<BR>
<BR>
According to my opinion, it's important that openid.net is "neutral" in the<BR>
choice of the OP.<BR>
<BR>
But it's true that a link " get an OpenID" on the home toward<BR>
"<A HREF="http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/OpenIDServers">http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/OpenIDServers</A>" is more comprehensible for<BR>
the end user... But for the moment openid.net is really not used for the<BR>
ends users!<BR>
<BR>
Also, the OP wiki could be organized by country/languages...<BR>
<BR>
Ideas to make follow...<BR>

<BR>
I agree there needs to be an obvious way for people who go to OpenID.net<BR>
to get an OpenID account. A conspicuous link on the front page to a<BR>
list of quality providers would get my vote. Since there are a few<BR>
OpenID account providers would it be acceptable to decide on a list of<BR>
providers for people to choose from?<BR>
<BR>
At the very least a link from the OpenID.net front page to the OpenID<BR>
provider page on the wiki<BR>
(<A HREF="http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/OpenIDServers">http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/OpenIDServers</A>) would be step in the<BR>
right direction.<BR>
