accessibility

[Chris Messina]

Thanks for the context Nate.
On the one hand, we need usability help and best practices for OpenID
generally (hence this list). We have a lot of existing behavior in the wild
to look at, and we have a small group of people after a UX Summit that we
held in charge of coming up with some recommendations for OPs and RPs.

If the Fluid Project could suggest how we might engage with them on
evaluating the existing approaches, and then move into making subsequent
recommendations on the signin process that would be excellent.

If we could then extend that work to cover SREG and the exchange of profile
data from an OP to an RP, and what that experience should ideally look like,
then that would be a great secondary task for the Fluid group to assist
with.

Where do we begin?

Chris
