Hi Jason. Thanks for letting us know about this. Although direct  
integration between Joomla and Wordpress MU would be great, I would  
personally prefer to take an open approach. By using standards like  
OpenID we can allow multiple applications to be accessed by using a  
single login identity. That way we don't have to write custom code to  
support the wide array of applications people use in their day-to-day  
lives. What are people's opinions on this?

Thanks,
Andy
