Isn’t it OpenID? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID
Oops… Thanks for pointing out!
I’d like a clearer statement about who owns the site and what the motives and goals are. This is fundamental to “growing” real participation. If I knew of this better, I’d share the URL with more people. I think you actually do have a potential audience of professional writers and editors out there who would participate in the startup of something like this. Though, the purpose and trustworthiness of the site is very important to be known. What passions and principles are at stake, or is it just throwing Jello at the wall to see what sticks? I’m old-school USENET, but practical too.
