Thanks for your input Tim.
Yes, I would say any solution for logging in from outside services would probably include Facebook.
In fact, if I had to choose only one outside login service today, I would probably choose Facebook as I think it would add the most value to Kete sites for lowering the barrier to new users. That is not to say that I don't think Facebook has serious issues with how it treats its users. I just see it as a tradeoff.
However, though Facebook is a priority, my hope is that we can put something together that allows us to connect from a broad swath of services. The goal is to give the user the choice of where he or she defines his or her online identity (and authentication). As you are probably aware OpenID and OAuth hold promise here, but are still evolving and haven't reached the goal of truly allowing for the kind of user choice that I'm after.
I feel it is a good goal to work towards though. I hope it works in both directions. I like the idea of a user being able to choose a Kete site (run by an organization that really is a part of his or her community) as who they trust to look after their online identity.

I added a few more line items related to HTML5 (moving to this for our templates), designing first for mobile devices (without limiting to one device or browser), and inclusion of Microdata for adding more semantically meaningful descriptions of items Kete describes via Extended Fields:

Facebook Connect allows people who are logged into Facebook to be to logged into Kete. I noticed that Twitter logins were mentioned http://j.mp/cLkVvQ & thought adding a little bit more made sense.
There are concerns with FB privacy, but I think that having multiple ways to log in lowers barriers to entry.
