I would like to know if it is possible for you developers to create a standards-based user authentication module that could be shared by different PHP applications. I would like my registered website users to be able to login once in a session and have all of my applications recognize them : Gallery, PunBB (forum software), and maybe other applications like phpBB, Coppermine, Tiki, etc. This is really important to me, and probably to other folk too. A second nice feature would be a common CSS, at least for major elements like Font type, size, Headings, etc. that each application could call in addition to its own CSS. Would it be possible for the community of PHP application developers to work together to create a shareable authentication module? Thanks! James |

Yep, it's certainly possible. The problem is that we have a lot of time constraints and our primary focus is on getting our own application working and making it available. We're certainly amenable to making Gallery2 comply with such a standard, if one exists, but I don't think that we're going to have time to create the standard ourselves. Perhaps you'd be interested in organizing a group of developers to create the standard? We'd be happy to work with you as time permits.
