Synopsis
This module allows you to authenticate with Google, using a service account and OAuth 2.0. After you create a service account using Google Developers Console or a similar tool, you may use this module to access Google service APIs using that account. Service accounts use hidden, prepared authentication files instead of passwords supplied at access time. This makes them suitable for cron tasks and other site-controlled access to Google services.
This module is in use on a production site.

Similar projects and how they are different
There have been projects that try to do Google authentication. There was an OAuth (1?) project for user/password authentication. This is the only project I know of that provides OAuth 2.0 service account authentication.
Dependencies
Google service account, and a module that uses the related API.

PA robot commentedWe are currently quite busy with all the project applications and we prefer projects with a review bonus. Please help reviewing and put yourself on the high priority list, then we will take a look at your project right away :-)
Also, you should get your friends, colleagues or other community members involved to review this application. Let them go through the review checklist and post a comment that sets this issue to "needs work" (they found some problems with the project) or "reviewed & tested by the community" (they found no major flaws).

damienmckennaThanks for your contribution, Valerie!
I updated your account so you can promote this to a full project and also create new projects as either a sandbox or a "full" project.
Here are some recommended readings to help with excellent maintainership:
You can find lots more contributors chatting on IRC in #drupal-contribute. So, come hang out and stay involved!
Thanks, also, for your patience with the review process. Anyone is welcome to participate in the review process. Please consider reviewing other projects that are pending review. I encourage you to learn more about that process and join the group of reviewers.
Thanks to the dedicated reviewer(s) as well.
