In all honesty, phpbb is not the safest piece of software out there. I
would hate to have other resources authenticating against it. If
anything, I think it would be cool to have an ldap directory setup for
aggregating all the various ArchLinux web resources (aur, forums, wiki).
Then just authenticate against that.
But, failing that, I think the benefit (user not having to create a new
account, which takes 15 seconds *maybe*) does not outweigh the
management hassle, and other detriments.
I would be willing to help work on ldap account aggregation, though.
Would be a nice way to fiddle around with the fedora-directory-server
too. :P

MediaWiki supports a AuthPlugin-Class. You have just to implement a few lines
to authenticated against whatever you want.

Unfortunately, I doubt this is workable. MediaWiki stores some user
information, like password, in a binary blob table col. I think the
safest and most reliable mechanism would be for each user interested in
working on the wiki to take the 15 seconds or so needed to create an
account, and do so.
An added benefit pertains to the considerable amount of inactive user
accounts on the forums. No need creating those.

Hi,
it would be nice if we could use our forum-account with the wiki. So we
have not to register twice.
PS: Nice to see NO future for the �$&%/ phpWiki ;-)

I saw a two *whimper*
Fry: It's ok Bender, don't worry. There's no such thing as 2's.
