There has been some discussion and confusion about the purpose of the three mailing lists and how they should be used moving forward. This is my suggestions:
* oa...@ietf.org Home for the standardization effort taking place in the IETF. The effort has being labeled as "OAuth 1.1" but label has never been agreed on. The IETF is looking at producing a standard based on the OAuth Core 1.0 protocol with some potential changes and additions. That effort should produce the next iteration of the OAuth Core protocol and all *new work* related to the OAuth Core protocol should be move to the IETF list. This is especially important to those who have strong opinions about what the next iteration of the spec should look like, and how many changes should be allowed from the 1.0 specification. * oauth@googlegroups.com This is the main community list for the adoption of the OAuth Core 1.0 specification. This is the place to go for interoperability issues, developer support, questions about the specification, evangelism work, and general community communication that is not about the protocol itself. OAuth Core 1.0 is a stable and final specification and as such, can and should be adopted (today). It is hard to tell how long it will take the IETF process to produce a final specification (which is not guaranteed), and it is unlikely for a final spec to be completed in under a year. Therefore, the OAuth Core 1.0 specification is the only official final work available and the only one that should be adopted at this point. There is absolutely no reason to wait for some unknown specification to be produced at a later stage as OAuth already provides a working framework. * oauth-extensi...@googlegroups.com This list (which has not been very active lately) is the place for technical discussions about additions and changes to the OAuth specification that are not covered by the IETF charter. Since the charter is still being worked on, extensions discussions should be happening on the IETF list until decided they are out of scope and at that point move here. --- Other suggestions?
