A lot of us have been clamoring for Wiki integration, based on comments I've seen in other posts.

There's a "recipe" for Integrating PmWiki with Simple Machines Forum (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SimplemachinesUserSystemIntegration) on the PmWiki site. Could the recipe be easily modified for vBulletin 3.5?

That recipe appears to duplicate what this article (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/VBulletin/Users_Integration) describes, no? This apparently still works in vB 3.5 (example (http://wiki.learnmed.net/)).

The article reads "Here is some base code for authenticating. This is not a working example, it is only a starting point." It doesn't look like a complete step-by-step forumula, but rather an outline for future integration work.

Looks like the LearnMed site you used as an example is down. :(

Funny that I just came here searching for a Wiki solution for our site and found this thread. We neeeeeeed Wiki for Vbulletin - so, so, so rad.

Unfortunately I'm no programmer and need some of you power nerds to help me out.

No step-by-step instructions, unfortunately - or at least none that I can see. There's a lot of code snippets thrown around, but nothing like: a) do this, b) so that, c) change these lines in this file to this, and so on..
