A friend of mine really liked the “Identity co-op” idea but has a slightly different implementation that we might be able to get off the ground.
He works with public libraries and proposed the idea of using libraries as identity providers, essentially using your library card to sign in to other online services.

@jjg this already happens in some bits of England but more for "library type" services such as music downloads that aren't directly provided by the local library, as well as services which are such as reserving books, checking which ones you have on loan / return dates / renewals etc..

@jjg this is kinda funny when in Denmark, we use our national health insurance cards (generic ID, because everyone has them) to "log in" to library services ;P
