Let's think on the next scenario: You have a site. Huge site! And you want to create an API for your site - like Facebook or Twitter. You say to your self - RESTWS! Let me tell you something - you'r right! But wait! How can you make this secure? How can you make sure that only the people with the permission can access the JSON output? you think again and you say - OAUTH! Let me say to your something: You right again! But how can you connect them both?

This module, Drupal connect, will work on a workflow similar to what Facebook, Twitter, Google and other company work by: There is an app that users with the proper permission can create. Each app has app name, secret code that together create a unique signature. When all the three arguments are verified by the oAuth then the JSON will be supplied.

There is another scenario that this module will cover: If you have a couple of Drupal installations or mobile apps for your site and you want that your users can make a connect with(like in Facebook or Twitter) with their Drupal user? The module Drupal connect contain a sub module that allow to other Drupal sites(or mobile apps) to connect with their Drupal user using the oAuth protocol with nice API functions.

The module is developed here: https://github.com/roysegall/dc and will be pushed to d.o git repository as well.
