Hi,I've done similar OpenID/OAuth integrations before, so a high level overview of how it might work in Wookie could somehow be helpful: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WOOKIE/Wookie+OpenID +supportI thought it might belong on the wiki where others can add more details about how it might work, and, most importantly, what they'd like to accomplish with it...
This is fantastic Bryan - exactly what we need to get a shared idea of how we would want to proceed. I'll try and work up an "oAuth only" flow too using the same format.
