Re: Creating a bridge between softwares
Getting wordpress to play nice with other software has been an issue for a long……. time. Only thing I’ve seen so far is a link between wikimedia and wordpress.

You could use that as a guide to create a bridge between wordpress and your own software.
(This is a very outdated plugin, so some stuff in there might need replacing.)
A user dashboard on the front has come to discussion before on these forums, but no one has done or tried anything yet (as far as I know). Would be interested in this as well, keeping the users away from the complicated and scary admin panel. 
Edit: Found another one, this one connects to phpBB.
