Hi,

I'm not that familiar with OpenID, except that quite a few people think it's a great idea. However, as user, I don't (want to) care about remembering or writing down special URLs to actually use it.

There are also a few well known providers and a few with large user-bases. A few I can name, without googling, are Google and Yahoo.

So, why not offer a few pre-configured options to login through? I do not care about OpenID enough to look for the right url, I'd rather just create a new account. If there were an option to simply login with One-Click® through google, I would.

Ps. Don't offer more than 3 options, nor too cluttered (eg. sourceforge). It discourages it's use.
PPs. Facebook offers something similar, I'm not sure wether it's based on OpenID

Kind regards,
Maarten Van Coile
