Defining what it means to be a "user" in the CMS

[tcolvinMI]

Would like to hear your thoughts about what sort of different user functionality we might add to the CMS.  One important this would be integrating users between the CMS and the forum.  Beyond that, I have no idea.  My intention would be once we decide to integrate to the forum, that we would bring all users from the forum over as members of the CMS.  They would then be able to access the forum directly.  Also, all user registration for the forum would then take place in the CMS.  The forum would be completely integrated into the CMS, so we would no longer need to access the forum directly.  As part of this integration, what I would like to do is implement a feature that when a content item (by category) is created, we add an option to create a forum topic when the content is published.  This would allow us to have a comment feature, and have us not have to implement something seperate from the forum.

Any additional thoughts?  Im just brainstorming at this point.
