I apologize if this has already been covered I don't have time to look though the archives. A lot of the problem with development communities especially in the open source environment. If you have one person come up to you ad say hay I would like this. They shrug you off as who are you to ask for a feature request. We are the development community we are busy enough as it is. In there defense they are.
I think it would be nice if the OpenID community as a hole develops a site that we can "vote" for what websites(or web application suites) we would like to use OpenID on. Armed with those number we can go these developers and say this many people want OpenID integrated into your <enter software package here>. Here is a bit of information about OpenID please integrate it into your core of your login program and have it on by default. This raises to my second issue with the developers and why it is Openid to be distributed on things that it just makes sense that it should be. What a lot of developers developers are doing now is just creating login modules to implement openid.(This is good) I don't think they understand that they don't have to take out usernames and passwords completely. Or oh openID that is for the bogging community. The problem with modules however it is not a default and if it is not a default then we would have to put pressure on the individual sites to incorporate it. Instead I think we need to find a way to convince the forum developers to enable it by default and let people disable it if they want too. The early days of the Internet started out on bulletin boards. I think that is a great place to really put pressure on to have them implement with openID. Just some thoughts comments on this are welcome. _______________________________________________ marketing mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/marketing
