DetailsCurrently, in gnome-online-accounts you can only choose to add a Google account. This is because the package needs various flags like '--enable-facebook'. However, the various other backends which all use OAuth require consumer keys and secrets, which are application specific, and it seems that upstream GNOME has not provided them (Google allows 'anonymous' as the key and secret).
In a way, this feature request is a request for how this should be handled --- I don't know / can't find what upstream wants to do about this. These keys apparently should be held secret, but that clearly doesn't work with FOSS. At the moment, I've worked around them for myself by simply registering myself for them... |

i don't consider this being a bug. eventually gnome is going to support more providers. last time i spoke with the main developer he said that there are legally issues.
