We're working on feature tests at the UMA interop site, kindly hosted by the OSIS folks. Head over to http://tinyurl.com/umaiop to see and contribute to the progress, and to register your solution.ve updated the main UMA architectural diagram, replacing the original UMA-specific terminology with OAuth names. In the process, the diagram also went from being a circle to being a "marvelous spiral". You can find several varieties of the diagram on the Attachments page. Thanks once again to our Graphics Editor, Domenico Catalano, for his excellent work.

The purpose of the UMA Work Group (charter) is to develop specs that let an individual control the authorization of data sharing and service access made between online services on the individual's behalf, and to facilitate interoperable implementations of the specs. Read the spec, join the group, check out the implementations, test your interop, get involved!

Follow us on Twitter – our handle is @UMAWG and we often use the hashtag #UMAWG. (Short link for this page is http://tinyurl.com/umawg – spread the word.) Find us on Facebook too.
