[security-dev] New SSO/OAuth2 Project

[Anil Saldhana]

Bill,
   I think we should start collecting the requirements some place. List 
out some high level topics as to what this project
will do etc. The teams (Aerogear, GateIn etc) can give some pointers to 
what they like to have.  We can then figure
out the goodies the project will provide.

Regards,
Anil
