-* Logging out
-
-  Logging-out can be tricky when using the the platform SDK because it
-  can trigger an automatic sign-in when listening to the user status
-  change. With the method show above, that won't happen, but if the UI
-  depends more in the SDK values than the backend, then things can get
-  out of sync easily. To prevent this, the user should be logged-out
-  from Google+ platform too. This can be accomplished by doing::
-
-    <script type="text/javascript">
-      gapi.load('auth2', function () {
-        var auth2;
-
-        auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
-          client_id: "{{ plus_id }}",
-          scope: "{{ plus_scope }}"
-        });
-
-        auth2.then(function () {
-          if (auth2.isSignedIn.get()) {
-            $('#logout').on('click', function (event) {
-              event.preventDefault();
-              auth2.signOut().then(function () {
-                console.log("Logged out from Google+ platform");
-                document.location = "/logout";
-              });

-Scopes deprecation
-------------------
-
-Google is deprecating the full-url scopes from `Sept 1, 2014`_ in favor of
-``Google+ API`` and the recently introduced shorter scopes names. But
-``python-social-auth`` already introduced the scopes change at e3525187_ which
-was released at ``v0.1.24``.
-
-But, to enable the new scopes the application requires ``Google+ API`` to be
-enabled in the `Google console`_ dashboard, the change is quick and quite
-simple, but if any developer desires to keep using the old scopes, it's
-possible with the following settings::
-
-    # Google OAuth2 (google-oauth2)
-    SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_IGNORE_DEFAULT_SCOPE = True
-    SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SCOPE = [
-        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
-        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile'
-    ]
-
-    # Google+ SignIn (google-plus)
-    SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_PLUS_IGNORE_DEFAULT_SCOPE = True
-    SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_PLUS_SCOPE = [
-        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login',
-        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
-        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile'
-    ]
-
-To ease the change, the old API and scopes is still supported by the
-application, the new values are the default option but if having troubles
-supporting them you can default to the old values by defining this setting::
-
-    SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_USE_DEPRECATED_API = True
-    SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_PLUS_USE_DEPRECATED_API = True
