One question, I looked at the whole API project on Teamforg and joined the project. But it was not clear if that automatically would get me an authorization token, or if there was some other way one had to go about requesting one.

It's been a few months, but I'm pretty sure that I received my token by joining the teamforge project. I received an email from Alex Herreid a few days later at the email address I used to join the project. The email contained my username and token.

According to the TeamForge page, they'll only be reviewing requests for tokens monthly now that the competition season is over, but they'll review weekly once build season starts up again. It may be a few weeks before you hear from Alex.
