Andrew Milton has already written something for XUF. I don't think you can do the necessary work in a PythonScript due to security restrictions. XUF is pretty powerful and suitable for single sign ons and I've worked with it so I'm happy to help.
Thanks. When do you think you'll be able to work on it? And how will Trac interface with it? I could adapt DbAuth (replace the SQL code with what XUF needs), but if you're faster I'd be even happier. :)

mm, phpBB is a PIA but there are very few forum products for Zope (squishdot is one I think) because Zope users generally use mailing lists. I would be tempted to work on converting the data just because I hate phpBB so much!
At least, the forum must look nice and it must be able to send notification messages to our users (new posts to some topic). I'm not opposed to using a nice Plone/Zope portal.

As I'm not familiar with what the build factory does I'll just have to nod at this. I assume you mean create a Zope product for it. This is fairly straightforward: you wrap some declarations around standard Python code.
At http://haiku-os.org/factory/ you can download automatically generated images and packages. This page should be integrated into Plone such that everything has a uniform look. I'll ask Phil about the source for his site.
