[user-experience] OpenID user experience (new mailing list)

[Johannes Ernst]

How should the OpenID user experience look like? Such as:

  - how do I know I can use OpenID at this site (we sort of have this  
with the login box)
  - how do I know that I am currently logged in with OpenID at this  
site, and if so, with what URL/i-name? (currently unsolved)
  - how can I change the URL/i-name that I'm currently using with  
this site (currently unsolved)
  - how can I log off and become anonymous again (currently unsolved)
  - how can I find out what the site knows about me wrt identity  
information (currently unsolved)

Just like modern operating systems have conventions for where the  
quit button is for an application, it may be appropriate to come up  
with similar conventions for an OpenID user experience.

If you are interested in these questions, please sign up to the new  
user experience mailing list
      user-experience at openid.net   (mailman)
List page:
      http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/user-experience

The idea is to come up with a series of guidelines for OpenID user  
experience. Potentially, these guidelines could also become  
"compliance points" for a possible future OpenID compliance testing  
regimen, if we all decided to have such a thing in the future.

Cheers,
