No-one is in IRC so I had two minor questions I needed clarified.
Perhaps not at the time you sent the email. You should try at an appropiate US time (around evening in Europe).
What's the difference between the new ExtAuth and the old AuthPlugin system? Just a quick jist...
I'll leave this to Aryeh.
I'm unsure of one thing related to $wgSecretKey and shared users. Obviously a set of wiki using a shared user table and a shared cookie $wgSecretKey should be the same on all wiki. However, given a set of wiki using a shared user table, but not using a shared cookie (ie: potentially domain separated wiki like example.com and example.org) should $wgSecretKey be the same since the users are the same, or different since the cookies are different?
They can be different in both cases. It is only used as an entropy source.
