Dan's OpenID talk should be interesting as we'll be seeing more of  
these systems over the next couple of years and Rails people really  
need to get clued in to the whole trust-anchor concept.

I'd also like to hear Ben's follow-up to the REST discussion,  
although I appreciate that other members may feel we're putting off  
potential new blood. Still, we are the main Ruby forum in the UK and  
I don't think we should be scared to discuss deep stuff as well as  
doing our bit to help newcomers get into the language.
