Support OpenID; a featured proposal


At the strategy Wiki, they asked for proposals. Many proposals were formulated and some of them are good enough to become a Featured Proposal.

I just learned that the "Support OpenID" proposal is featured. That is good news because it may mean that this is considered a worthwhile and doable proposal. The key to this proposal is that the Wikimedia Foundation can be trusted to administer OpenID because it is a staunch defender of privacy.


There are questions;
  • is there a process to select featured proposals
  • is it the working groups who featured them
  • what is the effect of a proposal being featured
Whatever the answers, I am happy; I made this proposal and now that it is featured it is more likely to get attention.
Thanks,

Thanks for writing about this! I just left a comment on the proposal's talk page mentioning the OpenID user experience work from this year (http://openid.net/2009/09/25/more-powerful-and-easier-to-use/).
