Great news, almost. I was looking for OAuth support in Shiro and this is undoubtedly a great extension BUT the initial excitement I had in thinking that Shiro itself now had inbuilt OAuth support has been tempered by realising this is not actually an official Shiro feature.
I like Shiro and also that Les has staked a business on its quality and hopefully success however I'm a little disappointed to learn that despite the headline OAuth support is actually an unofficial side project (the disappointment lies with the misleading mail not the Shiro project btw).. @Les, with you being involved with this extension is it something that is likely to be rolled in with Shiro at a later date or will it likely remain separate? Also, I have read differing articles over the last few weeks but is Shiro or an extension likely to provide an Oauth service itself in the future?

I have a small request though: can you please not say "Shiro supports X..." on the Shiro community lists? Per Apache Software Foundation rules, we're only allowed to say "Apache Shiro supports X" if X is officially supported by the Apache Shiro development team. I think it's great that the (non-official) Buji project is being helpful for things like OAuth with Shiro, but people should know that Buji is not an officially supported project w.r.t. Apache Shiro. It is for community-led and community-supported extensions to the Apache Shiro project, just like WicketStuff relates to Apache Wicket. That being said, I personally love to see how actively you are helping the community. Please keep it up!
