Ah, but I ask you this. If a rugby player falls in the forest, does
anybody care? ;-)
Seriously though, the issue here isn't really whether or not you and
your friends will go to the rugby game,
it's whether or not the rugby league organizers are trying to get you to
go to the rugby game at the appropriate venue.
If you go watch a rugby game on an ice rink, chances are you're not
going to get into rugby.
My point? Beyond the relatively inactive state of the ID Schemas list,
and the apparent momentum on the OpenID list(s),
what makes schemas.openid.net (and the OpenID lists) the more
appropriate venue for this discussion?
Or, are we just trying to get people to play rugby on an ice rink, just
for the sake of putting on a game?

hard).
I believe a key difference here is between what people would be
willing to do, and what people actually (will) do. For example:
- I would be willing to go to a rugby game, but I don't know if any
of my friends are going, so I probably won't go
- most of my friends who like rugby may be thinking and acting the
same way, or
- most of my friends would go if they knew rugby, but they haven't
discovered it yet.
From what I've seen, interesting discussions can be sparkled and
facilitated by people who do not seem to have been particularly
interested in a subject beforehand, but happened to be around because
they shared a broader interest with the community.
We seem to have to potential to build momentum and a critical mass
for AX and schema discussions here. I propose we continue the
discussions wherever they happen to take place. If the intensity
doesn't fade out, having invested a fair bit interest people will be
more likely to move to a better suited place if asked to.
