[dokuwiki] dokuwiki as a module

Hi,

I'm about to embark this weekend on a project to get Dokuwiki working as a
plugin for a custom CMS used by a client. The host application is quite
modular and will call DW via a <?php include(...) ?>, expecting it to
output an HTML fragment that can reside in a HTML DIV section; sessions,
auth and framing (HTML headers and navigation) will be handled by the host
app. I'm just wondering if there are some good examples of DW as a plugin
that I can work from, or if any particular issues I'm going to have to
face can be anticipated.

As I understand, my work will involve:

  * custom auth module. This should be very easy, given DW's architecture
  * embeddable template. Here I could do with some pointers, particularly
in making CSS play nice ..
  * ensuring session and request (get/post) variables don't conflict with
the host app. As long as I can be sure each will leave the other's
variables untouched this should be straightforward, but any way to make
the job easier ...
  * ACL groups synchronised with the host app. We can work around
limitations in this regard initially but if anyone has pointers ...

I've seen DW as a Xoops module but it was really ugly and seemed a bit
flaky. Any "respectable" examples of DW embedded in a CMS would be great,
or just hints from experience of others on the list. I'm more than happy
to contribute my findings back to the splitbrain wiki to help others as
the project progresses, so a preferred location/page name for this would
be good too :-).

Thanks in advance!
