I'm happy to hear this. I was thinking of asking the original poster's
questions, too, when I first started reading the documentation. You
may want to consider making a few adjustments in the existing docs
just so you don't scare people away. For example,

* The http://www.authkit.org/docs/ page says "There is also a
development version," which links to 
http://authkit.org/svn/AuthKit/trunk#egg=AuthKit-dev.
>From there, if you click on the README.txt (http://authkit.org/svn/
AuthKit/trunk/README.txt), it says
  """
  AuthKit
  +++++++

  WARNING: THIS CODE IS NOT PRODUCTION READY
  """
This version of the code appears from the README to be 0.3, which is
not the 0.4 branch.

* The AuthKit Manual, http://authkit.org/docs/manual.html, is dated
2006-08-31. The ten-month lapse made me question whether the project
was being actively developed. Maybe updating the date would help?

* The http://www.authkit.org/docs/ page says (note also the 2008-08-30
date)
  """
  Status
  AuthKit is not quite finished. It hasn't been used in production
    yet and will almost certainly have some bugs.
  Date: 2008-08-30
  """

* The Pylons Integration manual, http://authkit.org/docs/pylons.html,
starts out with
  """
  Warning
  Fith draft, code to support the documentation still being written,
nearly there now,
    but use at your own risk!
  """

It looks like the 0.4 branch you're talking about available at
http://authkit.org/svn/AuthKit/branches/0.4/ . Is that correct
correct? Sounds like 0.4 might be better to start with than the
current 0.3.3pre5 if you're using it in production. It would also be
helpful to post the easy_install incantation needed to pull the 0.4
branch.

I'm just exploring AuthKit now, but will deploy it behind Apache w/
SSL. I currently have AuthKit-0.3.0pre5-py2.5.egg loaded.

Thanks for releasing AuthKit. Hope my new-user perspective comments
are helpful.
