Yeah I wrote (at least the first drafts of) both the OpenID FAQs, and I have one but I don't use it, so in the documentation process I created one and walked through the procedure of setting up an OpenID account on DW and described the steps involved. It probably is still confusing though and obviously doesn't address all of the concerns and problems that someone using the site with OpenID is facing.

We should probably consider breaking this FAQ out into two sections: one for people who have *never* used OpenID before *at all*, and the other for people who already have one and are using it elsewhere.

I volunteer somebody else to write them, because I know both too much and not enough about the whole process at this point.
