Hi Dave, This is a metric ton of awesome; thank you very much for taking the time and effort to put all this together. And, BTW, based on what I've seen so far, I never would have thought you were new to Clojure. :-)

Noted re: Friend's docs. I've actually fallen behind a bit on my documentation activities this year; both Friend and nREPL are underdocumented at the moment. I know that Friend's docs are particularly dense, especially for anyone that just wants to use the stuff. That's probably due to my using the docs to talk through the library's design more than anything else, in part to help potential workflow authors understand what's going on, in part to provoke people into protesting certain decisions (this is my first swing at writing an authentication/authorization library, which should petrify you... ;-) I've known for some time that I'd like to have a companion project that implements all sorts of common usage scenarios that can be easily pushed up to heroku in order to facilitate experimentation. Pairing those with end-user-focused tutorials would be even better. I daresay you're getting the jump on me in both directions, which I really appreciate. > I've written some material on how to use Friend, including some OAuth2 > resources.

(Onlookers can watch https://github.com/cemerick/friend/issues/23 for activity between it and Friend itself.) I haven't worked through the tutorial, but I did find it really well-written and a phenomenal start. I think a good next step would be for me to create a Friend organization (of course https://github.com/friend is taken! :-P), so that you and others can readily contribute tutorials, example projects, and more that can be gradually cultivated into canonical, easily-approachable code and content.
