Hi Guys,

I am going to set up a social networking website in which Users can establish relationships and events, and these events are supposed to be requestable from other Consumer Website(s).

It is likely that OAuth is necessary for my structures.

And for easy to use, my Website should allow signup from OpenId and Facebook Connect.

I am afraid that putting this together with ad-hoc approach will make things complicated and limited the accessibility from Consumer Websites.

Therefore, I am writing to request your opinion about what is the best practice in such setup? And what are the gems that I am likely to use?

I have a few in my mind and I don't know mashup all these just work:

1. OAuth plugin: http://github.com/pelle/oauth-plugin 2. AuthLogic + facebooker

Thanks much! Arthur
