gvso@alex.ksis,
Is there a plan to move the features in your custom Social API implementers to the official ones? It seems both projects are heading to completely separate path since you are working on new implementers here.

nielsvandermolen commentedHi @gvso,
Unfortunately, the official modules did not fit our acceptance criteria. The official modules used the email to map users from the Social provider to Drupal, we used the ClientID from the social providers to do this mapping. Furthermore, we required delaying the creation of the Drupal account to be able to ask and change additional information during registration.
These custom implementations have been developed with Open Social in mind and it will likely take some work to generalize this so it could be applied to the official modules. We do have limited resources and have to spend our time contributing to the community wisely. I do not see generalizing this module for the official modules will be high on the priority list for now (we rather spend it on improving the entity access system for Drupal 8 instead https://www.drupal.org/node/777578).
However, if you think these changes would an improvement for the official modules you are welcome to take our custom code and implement it in the official modules. If the official modules do support our acceptance criteria we are prepared to re-evaluate and switch to the official modules.
