You should drop the user-generated-directory aspect of it. Interface all the good people search engines, and use google as a fallback.

how is that better than .name?

why is openid required?

Partly because my co-founder has a strong OpenID background (he wrote the first Drupal 5.0 OpenID module), and partly because we didn't want to create Yet Another Account for people to remember.

We are adding the feature to create a new account (which happens to be an OpenID account, but users don't need to worry about how the backend is done) from within the site, so anyone can register without an existing OpenID account.
