Description (Last modified by Bert)

What I propose is a set of api hooks where any system can:

a) Add a user to the PunBB database.
b) Authenticate against the PunBB database.
c) Add a Topic to a specific forum.
d) Add a reply to a specific Topic.
e) Display number of replies to a Topic.

With an API in place, then we can use PunBB for the commenting end of a front end CMS, backend Gallery or any application for that matter. Rather than rely on the plugin mechanism of the orginating system, a simple API would facilitate any system to use PunBB for their core user base and commenting subsystem.
