Many Rails apps support authentication via a per user API key. If it's not too much work, we may wish to add this as an option.

Welll.. As I understand, Oauth is to allow external auth sources. (You need a third party oauth trusted authentication source, no?)

When I created this ticket, I was thinking of a native API key, that each user could generate and revoke for their own accounts, so they didn't have to bake their pw into scripts and what not... (Correct me if I am misunderstanding what you are proposing with Oauth).
