+1 for basic auth.

OAuth is not intuitive for most people and an easy OOTB experience is what
we build our brand on.
If we find we need OAuth later on - when someone has bought it - then we
could do it then - but OOTB wins every time for me.

Sorry to intrude but I'm very passionate about the OOTB :-)

cheers,
John.
