This activity kicked off on March 26. We're planning a minimal OpenID implementation and OAuth implementation in the coming months. Very tentative target date is end of May.

During April, the team primarily focused on implementing SUL v2, which will fix issues that users are having with new security features in recent browser releases. SUL v2 is ready for testing and deployment is targeted for early May. In addition, the team worked toward a final design specification for OAuth and will begin working on that pending the successful deployment of SUL v2.

In June, the team worked with the Wikimedia Foundation's user experience team to improve SUL2. The improvements were pushed to test wikis on July 1, and will be rolled out to other wikis in July. Implementation of OAuth is well underway, and planned for roll-out in July as well.

Engineers worked towards for an OAuth deployment to the beta cluster in early August, and aim to roll OAuth out to the test wikis (e.g., test2.wikipedia.org) after Wikimania.
