How to Set Up OpenID on Your Own Domain
OpenID is an open standard for logging onto various web services with a single digital identity. The tool puts your online identity back in your hands—and as it turns out, OpenID on your own domain is surprisingly easy. For some reason I was under the mistaken impression that setting up an OpenID on my own domain, ginatrapani.org , would be a big hassle: that I'd have to host my own OpenID server software and that it would take all sorts of installation and maintenance BS to do so.
Specifications | OpenID
OpenID specifications are developed by the community on technical specification mailing lists overseen by specs@openid.net . The current community of editors look to make sure that any draft proposal agrees with the general principals of how OpenID has evolved in terms of being no more complicated than needed to get the job done, modular, free and unencumbered, as well as being further extensible. Only the specifications listed in the “Finalized Specifications” section are considered official OpenID specifications while everything listed in the “Proposed Drafts” section are still being discussed and evolved by the community.
