Chris Hearing that the libraries are falling by the wayside indicates a lack of interest in OpenID to me.
Having paid to build a number of the libraries, it is disappointing that this is the current state (assuming your analysis is correct). As I stated a number of times, I think OpenID 2.0 is the wrong product for the market and the Foundation may need to bite the bullet to move on to something that truly solves a broad set of customers. -- Dick On 2011-01-19, at 6:40 PM, Chris Messina wrote: > It has come to my attention that the maintenance of the OpenID libraries has > fallen by the wayside in the past year.
