    initial v1  
    44The single sign-on is for WordPress.org, as in, you login to all the wp.org properties (sites) through the same login screen, not the one for bbPress, or single instance of WP, or GlotPress', etc. Those are sites that live under the wordpress.org domain and can share auth cookies as is.

    6 The oAuth flo won this same login.wordpress.org, on the other hand, will be used (at first) for our other properties/sites that donot run on the wordpress.org domain, and can therefore not share auth cookies, such as buddypress.org, wordcamp.org,bbpress.org, etc. Instead of authenticating (logging in, sharing cookies), they'll authorize the site (as an app, with login only seen if if not yet logged in to wp.org).

    88There are dreams of more than that for the future, but we'll cross that bridge once we cross the first one. :)
