[Michael Nelson <michael.nelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Monday I finished the branch which replaces the
subscriptions.getForOAuthToken() stubbed call with a database backend,
which Anthony approved [1]. mvo and I also chatted with Anthony to
identify exactly what API calls we'll need to verify the oauth
token/identifier.

I then worked on a branch to map-out the state transitions for the
Subscription model (a jpeg with the diagram is in
doc/subscription_states.jpg if anyone's interested[2]), which anthony
approved [3]. The branch sets up the infrastructure for a
state-as-an-object pattern so that each state encapsulates all the
info about which transitions are allowed as well as the behavior for
those transitions.

Finally, I just finished a branch which adds the identity verification
via the canonical identity provider API when calling
subscriptions.getForOAuthToken(). As this requires special credentials
supplied by SSO administrators, I've ensured that this step can be
skipped for the dev server with a setting (details in the README).
Anthony has also approved this branch [4], and all 3 are now landed in
trunk.

The first two weeks have been great fun! Tomorrow I'll continue on
with the "I want to buy X" story, by working my way through the
implementation of the states. Anthony is going to try to make the mock
payment server available as a separate package so I can write the
tests against it (rather than against my own mock service).

Cheers,
Michael.
