Thanks for the tip. We hope to include a chapter that uses OpenAuth instead. It is on our TODO list :-)

Cool. What made you go with OpenAuth?

I couldn't spot an issue discussing it, but if you have a good link on the pros and cons, I'd love to see it. :)

We are still investigating the options, but OpenAuth seems like a pretty useful open and applicable standard for authenticating users. In the book, we are trying to build up a series of guides on useful tools and toolkits for doing things.

So I'd also like to read about the pros and cons of the various authentication packages.
