Smitty. We are still working on this project.
We solved the 'name issue' by implementing a dynamic name mapping on the fly between MediaWiki and vBulletin. MediaWiki sees user names the way it expects, but this is transparent (for the most part) to the end user. The user is aware and uses only his/her vbulletin login both from within vBulletin and from within MediaWiki (logging into one, logs the user user into the other system, and vice versa).
Today we released the RC1 to be tested. and we expect to have a final release shortly.
P.S. We moved our site to
