Hi Daniel, we're planning to develop a library usable by other projects, for v1 and 1a of OAuth, and then start from that first deliverable to work on an implementation of v2. From what I understand the scope of the GSoC project is already quite well delineated, however maybe the student could contibute to the discussions on how Amber should be made to be interoparable with CXF, eventually if it fits contribute code to Amber and work in parallel on CXF for integrating Amber where needed.
I don't know if GSoC contemplates these "inter-project works", but since it makes absolute sense not to waste Google money and student/mentor time in creating a parallel implementation, IMO it is worth trying to merge the effort. If it is possible given the GSoC bylaws, current state of the proposal etc.. then it would be great.
