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

[Sneaks]

does bbPress share auth that easily? or just user tables?

how about an open-source, WP-suite of auth sharing plugins for commonly 
bundled software?

1. mediawiki
2. bbPress
3. ??

i'll host SVN and a website if anyone wants to do this.
