A3M - Account Authentication & Authorization Module

[eluser]Peng Kong[/eluser]
hey everyone, thanks for all the interest on a3m so far.
here's the little road map for a3m.

currently everything on a3m is either on
1) this thread (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/144755/)
2) google code (http://code.google.com/p/a3m/)
3) a3m's up and coming blog (http://a3m.sirwan.me/) by sirwan.me
4) live demo @ (http://it.euphoriatwentythree.com/projects/a3m/)

I will want to totally streamline the maintenance of all these things.

(1) CI forum should be use for discussion (new thread)
(2) Google code should be used for documentation (wiki), bug tracking and code (svn)
(3) A3M blog should be used for news, updates, and everything chronological.
(4) Live demo. (can someone volunteer to maintain a fully working demo of the latest version of a3m. just get latest version for google code.)

the only key thing left undone atm is Role based ACL. I will need some time (only start in a week or two) to start on it as im busy atm. someone else can start on it first if they want

Once we're done with the ACL part. we just need to stamp out all the bugs and look very deeply into security.

We also need to allow sites using a3m to be both "OP" and "RP" for openid and both server and client for oauth. then it's only about keeping up with changes to the openid and oauth specs, since they are still evolving.

Another thing I want to look into is even further increasing flexibility and customizability for the programmer. Meaning a3m should be usable for 99% of all use cases and easily customizable to as many use cases as feasibly possible. All websites dealing with users should be able to use a3m... or to put it another way... all of us, no matter what kind of websites we are creating, if it deals with users, we want to use a3m as a base to speed up development. That's the goal.

feel free to contribute your thoughts.
