OpenID

Just came across this interesting Read/WriteWeb post on OpenID. "OpenID is being managed under meritocracy rules, just like any other big open source project. Specs are under continuous development. The current spec 1.1 will be deprecated in favor of the upcoming 2.0, which will feature YADIS service discovery, security enhancements, anonymous logging capability and XRI (i-name i-number)".
This post also contains the screencast I´m including below to show how OpenID works.
