Let me make sure I dont inject controversy into any of this
though. What OpenID is right now is FANTASTIC!!! So, if
there seems to be too much opposite thought on this matter I would
certainly rather spend my time building the code for the system that
attracted me to this list in the first place. Maybe when the code for
several platforms is complete we can revisit this and see how we might
be able to make things better. But even still... I'm here because
of this > OpenID not this > <a href="http://OpenID.name">OpenID.name</a>. I will gladly help
in any way I can but at this stageof the game injecting this into the
mix could set things back and I certainly dont want to do that...<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/27/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">M. David Peterson</b> <<a href="mailto:xmlhacker@gmail.com">xmlhacker@gmail.com

that each node relies upon to complete a transaction? This is not
what I am suggesting at all. This is a backdoor, lets keep things
solid and tight and allow easy access to each other without requiring
anything. Think of it as more of a Subversion-styled system where
everything is independent and yet with the proper credentials can be
given access to the latest tagged bits or check code into a stream,
etc... <br>
<br>
You can be independent without being severed completely from a system. Having backdoor access allows for exactly this.<div><span class="e" id="q_1041f78047079917_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/27/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">
