Yes, we need that. Toys like TUSC should be replaced by scalable and correct stuff at middle term. But this is not currently one of the top priority, so we also need people to implement it, maintain it. This is not only a development issue (I wouldn't be surprise if the current OAuth providers extensions would be virtually mature) but a strong support and integration work afterwards.
You need to prepare something like an OAuth2 provider infrastructure to ask the user's Wikimedia home project to do authentication and submit your tool the appropriated result.
Please note somewhere your proposal, and if possible, what and who you need to make it real.

Are you referring to using Wikimedia CentralAuth accounts to auth against other provider wiki sites?
Or using your own CentralAuth setup for your site(s)?

Hi,
I know it is technically possible to use the SUL account outside of Wikimedia-Projects. We heard, that it is not very much liked to use this possibility. Maybe somebody of you could tell us if that is so and maybe why?
Cheers,
Marco
