This project is not yet in highly active development, but work has started on a more complete set of requirements and user stories. Chris Steipp put out a call for user stories that were prioritized. We determined that most stories fell into two categories: Implicit grant (a.k.a. "user agent flow"), and Server-side flow. We'll likely need up-front registration for people implementing OAuth, so Chris will propose a workflow for what that looks like. Comments are welcome on the wikitech-l mailing list.

Chris Steipp continued to gather requirements, but mostly focused on other projects in July, leaving OAuth on the backburner.

In August, Chris Steipp was mostly focussed on projects other than OAuth. However, he continued to gather requirements in preparation, including the need for Wikimedia to finalise SUL migration beforehand.
