What are everyone's thoughts on having a link to a list of OP's on the<BR>
openid.net site. The link would go to a list of OP's that are members of<BR>
the foundation (meet membership criteria). The order of the list would<BR>
change each time the page loaded or refreshed (so as to not prefer one OP<BR>
over another).<BR>
<BR>
The current state of the site and the fact that end users go there to learn<BR>
or find an OP, I believe is definitely a major point of confusion.<BR>
<BR>
Thoughts?<BR>
