+1 to open sourcing it which makes it easier for others to hack on and
add features / fix things.

I'm generally of the mind that we leave it is as for now and not
waste more time debating this. I don't think it's worth $2000 of the
foundation's money to work on this and I think we have more
important things to deal with.
I think if we started with open sourcing the OIDF voting tool, that
would at least provide a means to inspect the current sign in system
so that any enterprising member with time or money on their hands
could contribute a fix, but for the meantime, I think the majority
of the membership is served.
I also don't think that a membership vote is what's needed here;
instead we need leadership and the ability to decide what are
absolute priorities that will lead to the widest benefits.
While there's cause to provide support to members having trouble
signing in to the site, I don't think we need to make major
modifications to our current approach if it is generally accessible
and workable for 90%+ of the membership.
Perhaps Janrain could provide us with stats on current failure rates
with RPX so that we could better evaluate the wisdom of making
additional investment in alternative logn solutions?

Seems there are a couple of questions to answer with login at
OpenID.net:
1. What will work the best consistently for all our existing
and new potential members (intuitive, reliable, inclusive, cost
effective, etc.). Seems everyone is in favor anything that
achieves these objectives.
2. How important is it that login is neutral (not favoring
any OP, not provided by any vendor). There has been discussion on
both sides of this topic, not only for login but for the OpenID
wiki (currently at pbwiki), OpenID.net on Wordpress, hosting
documents at Google docs, etc.
3. How much are we willing to spend to fix it and keep it
operating properly. The current estimate that is on the table from
Refresh Media is that it will take $1500 to $2000 to fix the
original generic type in box UX to accommodate i-names and directed
identity.
Given that there appears to be a diversity of opinion, would it be
worthwhile to use our polling tool to allow the membership to weigh
in? If not, we can just give the green light to Refresh Media to
get started.
If this is the only way, than I'd would vote for it. Considering
that there will be an added benefit for others...but also here the
cons and pros have gone around already.
