jdo probably already knows all this, but I want to clarify this so
everyone who wasn't around when we took over the project understands
our relationship with it.

The django-openid code was originally written by Simon Willison, and
is maintained as a separate open source project outside the
ubuntuone-servers tree so it might not feel like "our" code. However,
it's important for everyone to realize that the django-openid code
should be viewed as "our" code, and we are responsible for maintaining
the project and the package in Ubuntu, fixing bugs, merging patches
from the community, uploading new versions to Ubuntu, etc. James
Henstridge is an expert on this code and was working on doing a new
release for Ubuntu last week.

This project is also used by several other teams at Canonical and
several Ubuntu community sites (LoCo directory, etc.), so bugfixes to
it benefit a lot of sites.
