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.
