RFID was merely a suggestion for ease of use for those less technically minded. I'll be updating the post to reflect that it should just be a general "access and membership management system."

That way, you could support much more then just RFID. Our current solution is a barebones dorkboard (arduino clone) with a very simple custom circuit for handling a relay. It also has a serial control protocol, but since it has it's own internal access database, it can be used without a computer. I'd love to see a standard for talking to custom access control hardware, something I can implements, with decent binding on the PC side.

Maybe you could open up the authentication tokens to the other realms of something-you-know and something-you-are? Or Alternative something-you-haves?
