Read both OAuth 2 (and it's Bearer and MAC specs) and the OAuth 1 RFC.
I would probably avoid reading the PHP code for it. I have a feeling that
it's
going to do nothing but give you some wrong ideas about how OAuth should
be implemented.

Yeah I've noticed. I decided to start with reading the OAuth IETF
document
first so I'm totally familiarized with the protocol. Then I'm going to
look
at the PHP extension (although in the long run I don't want to have it
as a
dependency), and finally I'm going to look through the mailing list and
other stuff. Then I'll draft some stuff and put it out here for
discussion.

Is anybody working on OAuth for MediaWiki? Because if not I might put
something together (i.e., start putting together design documents
based on
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**OAuth<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth>
).

That OAuth page is actually quite old.
You should read over all the mailing list and Talk:OAuth topics.
Especially the stuff on writing this type of auth into core as an
abstract
system.
As well please take a good long read over:
https://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/OAuth/Issues<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/Issues>
Also note I don't think we've had a real discussion over OAuth yet. The
OAuth discussions I've tried to spark up haven't gone far. And whoever
is
in the subgroup here that actually understands OAuth haven't even had a
discussion over it.
