The policy of the DotGNU project is that we want to equally
endorse several projects that each create a virtual identity /
auth system.

There is nothing wrong with having several competing systems -
this gives the user additional freedom of choice.

I should be observed however that these projects need to work
together on server-side components:  Ideally there'd be just a
single, easy-to-install package that makes an e-commerce site
support all the various DotGNU virtual identity / auth systems.

Greetings, Norbert.
