We aim to solve this by using a single backend for as many of the tools 
available to users, at minimum:
-forum
-bug tracker
-mailing list subscription management

Hopefully also:
-wiki
-blogs

If we develop other web apps, e.g. one for browsing packages etc. (for both 
packagers and users, integrating the type of information that was available 
for Mandriva at maint.mandriva.com, youri.zarb.org/demo/mandriva, build system 
output etc.), most likely it will use the same account infrastructure.

I would also look at other SSO technologies (e.g. OpenID) running on this 
backend to possibly allow Mageia identities to be used for authenticating to 
other (e.g. upstream) projects.

See some more info at <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=directory">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=directory</A>

I have finished some of the work that was holding this up, so we may be able 
to make this available in a week or two.

Regards,
Buchan
