A3M - Account Authentication & Authorization Module

[eluser]Peng Kong[/eluser]
hear me out.

in my opinion the 'design' of a3m isn't out of date. sure, the code and libraries might be outdated since this was developed about 8 months ago.

the key to a3m is "LOOSE COUPLING". in fact i tired to architecture the whole package with all the CI design philosophies in mind.

The code which i wrote is actually minimal. All the business logics/hardwork, like connecting with openid, oauth, facebook, etc are from external open source projects that are well maintained. What i wrote are controllers (that use those external libraries) and views (xhtml+css+language)

The point is loosely coupled, anyone of us should be able to easily swap out the outdated facebook library, replace it with the new updated facebook library and easily update the related controllers code.
a3m was engineering with maintenance in mind.

controller to controller and views to views have no dependency (at least that's the idea).
meaning you can totally throw away say "signin with myspace" and nothing will break.
the views are schematic xhtml styled minimally with css, so you can easily throw away the css and put in your own design.

basically as far as i could design, every part can be excluded or replaced without breaking shit here and there modular basically.

What i'm looking for is someone help me work on this dream of an authentication, authorization and account package that is reusable for every project/website that has users.

Code:

The latest “module” download seems to be an entire CodeIgniter application.  Has anyone troubled to extract just the essential files from this download?  Could do with repackaging.  I’m torn between unravelling this jumble and doing the lot from scratch…

i'll explain all the dependencies if you guys are interested to know. that exactly can be throw away and what must stay for what to work, etc. everything inside has a reason to be inside cuz the code is suppose to be as light weight as possible so it's easy to understand/extend/maintain.

btw i've done acl on my own to abt 80%-90% so if gr0uch0mars or some else agrees that this idea is right and is the way to go and is willing to work on this. i will contribute that code too.
