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

[Sneaks]

thats an interesting idea. i suppose i could hook into the wp cookie 
functions and set the mediawiki authentication cookies.

last night i was playing around and set WP's cookie root to /, and was 
using:

include($_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]."/blog/wp-blog-header.php");
auth_redirect();
wp_get_current_user();

in a mediawiki auth plugin. i think that direction would also work, but 
i'm worried about the lack of user data in the mediawiki db.
