improvements?

  • It seems like the the codebase for this plugin was a major undertaking, but the lack of current support and documentation is giving it a very bad reputation.

    Something i would like to suggest is that someone who is familiar with the product and who is a near-native speaker of English should write a soup-to-nuts piece of documentation that uses lots of screenshots and descriptive texts to:

    1) show from a fresh installation of the plugin, how to configure the newly installed website to accept google.com oauth2 authentication for access to the website.

    2) show how, once the plugin is installed and configured, to access the wordpress posts/pages/etc using the command line cURL program to authenticate read/write website information.

    I think these two additions to the documentation for the plugin would open it to a much bigger audience than it now has. And i say this being a developer who has implemented C++ and PHP modules that can authenticate programs for access via OAUTH and now OAUTH2 compliant systems. (I think i know and understand OAUTH2 handshaking, but found this plugin to be obfuscated and opaque to the extent that it was unusable to me.)

    If it helps, i am also willing to proofread your documentation for grammar and understandability as a native speaker of English, and someone who understands OAUTH2 technology. I am also willing to proofread and correct your website English too. (I noticed at least a dozen simple errors that would make the site incrementally more professional were they to be corrected…)
