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
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)?

No I'm asking of using Wikimedia's CentralAuth using in our tools.

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.

Hi,
actually it would be for a WLM-project we want do extend. This is a bit higher priorized, because it will not be such a big deal. In the meantime we could use the old stuff authentication or TUSC in our project.
While doing that – why not working on such a proposal. I could do some tests and then develop a concept to decide wheather to implement it or not.
@Alex: Sorry somebody forgot to reply to all.

What the WMF is looking at for stuff like that is becoming a OpenID provider so services and tools can act as Consumers, But that is some way away currently.
Ryan would be the one to poke about that iirc
