OAuth

Rob,

thanks for asking. There are a few reasons:
1* OAuth module is not working yet
2* Services module doesnt have a plugin for authentication. Web Services has, but OAuth module is not integrated to it.
3* OAuth module is quite a mess (code and UI), mainly due the Sumit's lack of experience and the beta stage
4* OAuth module has some features that are not proved/tested, like Cool Auth
5* WS uses OAuth as the main authentication method and OAuth has not much use without a services module

ALL these motives can be easily removed soon and i will be glad to merge codes. However, 'till this day, i really need this working.

regards,

Thanks! I was just wondering because I'll be developing a project with oauth soon and was looking for existing solutions.

What if you abstracted your OAuth solution and patched the OAuth module with your OAuth solution's awesomeness so that other contrib modules could benefit from its awesomeness?

Rob,

Im already a OAuth module dev. I asked Boris once. Since Sumit is working on it as GSoC project, i dont think its right to overwrite it. If Sumit and Boris agree, i might commit several changes on that module. No problem! And being a more generic module than simple web services authentication, i also might do some extra features.

Also, Im really afraid to be expelled again, like Services dev team did.

For the record ...

Rob is Services dev team, and you weren't expelled, you left after a disagreement and created this fork.
