I agree with Kai that supporting proprietary data-gathering platforms 
like Facebook would be very low on my list, or maybe even actively 
opposed by me.

Also, don't misunderstand how the OpenID login works - you will still 
have to create an account with OSM, it's only that your everyday login 
will be simplified. So anyone for whom the signup is an insurmountable 
hurdle will not join - whether we support OpenID or not.

Bye
Frederik
