Yes, sorry about that. Those project pages are out of date.
Quick answers:
Ceph: This morning (Pacific time) we enabled multi-write to both Ceph and Swift (ie: Ceph will be as up to date as the main file store constantly). Later this week (probably Thursday) around the same time (early early Pacific morning) we'll switch the 'master' store to Ceph. ie: you shouldn't see any issues now on the user facing end, but you might later this week (but probably not, based on what we saw this morning).
OAuth: Chris can correct me if I'm wrong, but this first round of OAuth deploys will be to enable intra-WMF server OAuth (mostly for Labs/Wikitech use, I believe).
I just deployed OAuth to the test wikis this morning. The available set of rights that can be authorized to an OAuth Consumer (an application that will be talking to the MediaWiki api on behalf of a user) isn't exhaustive, but it covers most basic usage of the api, including editing. So no, not read only.
I'll send out a more detailed announcement with links to documentation for getting started with OAuth in a little bit.
Thanks,
Greg
