  Taking API Requests

  guys, I have a ite I am working on that needs some quite special forum functionality.

  It is a multilanguage vocabulary learning thing - http://www.engoi.com (the one that is there is quite old, there will be an all new version in a few weeks ... )

  The site has a lot of content which is translated into many languages, and people can then learn the content.

  Here's what I want to do:

  - put a button next to each translation where people can flag it as inaccurate, or they want to discuss the translation.

  - then on the site a button will appear linking to that discussion, which is labelled "open"

  - over a period of time, some consensus is reached over what the translation *should* be

  - the person responsible (I haven't figured out who this would be yet, but anyway the decision needs to be made from me end) then marks the convo "resolved" and update at my site

   

  Basically it's a model for using forums really as a community tool for arriving at consensus. I haven't factored it into an API yet - I'm several months (at least) from implementing this. But I know it's something I want - and I'll either build it or borrow it ...

  User authentication

  hi guys,

  I'm glad you're talking about this.

  I can't speak for the rest, but what I need is to make this happen the other way around.

  I have an existing site with a membership base. So I need to be able to open up an API that allows you to authenticate with me - essentially "we have a post from user 'danmcb' with encrypted password xxx - is this OK?

   

  But actually, we are doing some wheel reinvention here. What about openID? Typekey?

  What do you think about Tangler?

  i'm quite interested, and taking a lookin.

   

  I have a site that already has a membership system - one thing I've looked for but missed in most forums is easy integration with existing systems. So that users get to use the same profile and id names as are used on the host site.
