Since programmers and other tech workers still have difficulty understanding the details of Persona, this seems to be a clear PR issue. It's a lot like trying to convert normal people to Linux by telling them it's great and if they don't believe you they can read the source of the kernel. Not a very compelling defense.


We've got a lot more to offer than "use the source Luke" ;-)

There are tons of technical docs on our MDN page: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Persona

You can start with a high-level explanation of why Persona is different and awesome: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Persona/Why_Persona

From there, you can dig as deep as you'd like--we have docs to help with building an identity provider, integrating Persona into an existing site, even a list of pre-written open source plugins in a ton of languages/frameworks.

If none of that works, drop by #identity on mozilla IRC and tell us our docs suck, so we can prioritize making them better.
