Thanks, I spoke with Toshio and he was most helpful. From the info he 
gave me it should be relatively straightforward to make Wordpress 
authenticate against FAS. That is the first step, and then (optionally) 
we could only allow people within a certain FAS group to make posts. 
Potentially we could even map various groups within FAS to different 
roles within WP.

If others agree that a blog would be useful for rpmfusion (I personally 
think its a great idea and would be an excellent tool for communicating 
with end users) then I'll get busy putting together a WP plugin for 
authenticating against FAS.
