forum and the wiki, leading to an increased community participation.
IpbWiki provides 2 authentication methods:
[list]
[*]Transparent
User Authentication: if the user visited the forum and there exists a
forum session, then user is automatically logged in into the wiki.
[*]Non-transparent
User Authentication: Clicking the Login button in the wiki
authenticates against the forum database and logs the user in both the
wiki and (optionally) the forum.
[/list][*][b]Integrated Skins:[/b] Out of the box skin integration.

asksql, checkuser) based on the member's Forum User Group and member's
number of posts.

[/list]
[b]More Notes:[/b]
Integration with custom themes will require custom work. I will only be using the default theme.
I will be committing myself to upgrading this all throughout 4.0. If some
of you would like to help. Contact me through the email I have on the
readme or search: Geonode on Sourceforge.
[b]Updated Notes:[/b]
I have integrated The IPB them with MediaWiki, some things weren't added,
because I still want MediaWiki to stay as a wiki. So things were
replaced with MW's custom settings. It still looks rough on the edge,
but its not a final product, I plan on doing some more ground work on it.
