[wp-hackers] Single sign-on with Wordpress & Mediawiki

[Sneaks]

OpenID and LDAP would still require a user to login to each system (WP 
and Mediawiki). And Integrating two databases is pretty easy.

I'm trying to get something different-- one actual login to start a 
session in both systems. one logout to stop the session in both systems. 
I'd need to read and/or set cookies for this.
