    I'd like to see that too!

     Well, it's not impossible to do it right now, people would just have to
link into phpgw.  They wouldn't see the stuff in the site look and feel,
they'd link to the phpgw forums, logged in as the anonymous user.  I can
show you how to make a link that keeps the session and links properly.

    I took a little break and am just starting to hack at the code again.  I
haven't started actually coding the hooks stuff yet (though I wrote a little
requirements document... Have you taken a look at it?) so I'm not sure what
I'm in for, nor how much coding time I'll have over this next month.  I'll
aim for having that feature done in November though.  It's my highest
priority.
