?

Thanks

Well for production, I guess email is all right. But right now I just trying 
to test Elgg and Wookie integration....

Thanks for the tip about the database. It works !

Not currently. It does generate the key, it just won't send it (you can look in the database).

What sort of mechanism would you like it to use? We just opted for the email-based one as a compromise between being completely open and being too restrictive, but its certainly not the only strategy for issuing API keys.
