Structure wise the Digital Service is made up of a headquarters team within the White House, 18F which is an internal software development organization within the General Services Administration, and then embedded teams growing to be within each cabinet level agency. This creates a mixture of distributed execution plus centralized resources to help each team as needed.

Hey, since I can't find your name or contact info on your account I figured I'd comment saying that I run Bootcamp and it sounds like we should chat ([email protected]) :)

I feel like this is what the rating system helps deal with. You should be finding yourself with drastically more taxi experiences where 20% is a reasonable tip.

The earlier drafts were much more like that. They were largely a collaboration between a few web companies who had deployed OAuth 1.0 with Dick Hardt who had written WRAP at Microsoft. One of the major design goals was producing a protocol simple enough that client developers would not have to use libraries.
I was pretty happy with this result since we could write a simple page like https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/server-s... which conformed to the spec (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-12#section-4....) and was an easy to implement explanation of authenticating a user.
But the OAuth 2.0 spec we were working off of is now eighteen months old and as Eran said the vast majority of those contributors have drifted away from the effort over this past year :-\

Really like the transparency and applying the same rules, but at the same time when I search for "Google Chrome" the single ad in a yellow box above all of the results is for http://www.google.com/chrome. I guess I wonder if this page rank demotion will really make a difference since Google still controls that ad spot.

I manage one of our tools engineering teams focused on making it easy for employees to quickly find the right information and keeping it up to date. But there are a number of different tools engineering teams focused on things from tools engineers use daily to how we can better support users.
Email is on my profile.

You're able to apply via email if you don't wish to be logged in to the site. Each job has a unique email address such as [email protected] which is for tools engineering in New York.

Sorry, but this really feels like hyperbole to me. For two reasons:
1) Before any action is shared back from the site to Facebook, the user has agreed to authorize that site (application) and add it to their timeline. Part of that dialog shows what's going to happen (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/beta/authentication/).
2) There are plenty of other examples around the web where submitting a HTTP GET request results in an action. For example, clicking an up arrow on Hacker News submits a GET request which increases the karma score on another author. What becomes more important is how you protect against XSRF and crawlers not accidentally changing state within your app.

This is my old first draft from last year. Others have been working on making it real over the past few months but the site hasn't been updated yet.
