Thanks for your detailed Post. I think I understand it better now.
So If I want to use your bridge I have to use SMF from beginning. I could do this, but I want to focus on the Pligg area and bring some user activity in it first. Until I got some active Users I want to focuse on bringing up the Forum. I dont think I can do this for both smf and pligg simmilar. So it would be irritating users to register in an inactiv Forum to contribute to the"actve" news area.
So it sounds that I have to wait until a new Pligg version with an API is released if I want a 100% symetric working for smf and pligg. At all I just need the abillity to import Pligg Users to SMF to a later time, if new users are registered by SMF until the bridge is activated is not the Problem. Only if they Change their password in the Pligg Profil and it is not syncronised to SMF.
I could start the Forum to a later time but I think then I will never be able to use Pligg and SMF bridged (if one User has registered in SMF and Pligg with different User Name and password).
Another question: I read a lot that in the next Versions (Betas) of Pligg their will be big Changes in Code/Strukture and it is better to wait (building up a new site/ custom template / etc) until this changes are done (does this mean the next beta release or until the stable version comes out). So if there could be bigger Problems updating to new Pligg releases I think it is not the best Idea to build up an complex bridged Pligg/SMF Combi until this Changes are done (I would do this and perhaps reject to update on an upcoming version of Pligg/SMF if I could setup a - "no problems" Pligg/SMF combi like I imagine - at this time). What du you think.
I think I have to wait.

I will maybe write to Pligg team and suggest an integration API (much the same as SMF has, one doesn't necessarily has to reinvent the wheel). Basically let an external entity do the authentication/authorisation/encryption as well as also notify an external entity that user changed his details (email/avatar/password) or maybe deleted his account.
Given the work is done on Pligg at the moment, I do not have the time to write the integration API myself (nor the knoledge) - I think myself more like a Java programmer than PHP. I do ok with PHP too but not up to the scale of coding an integration API.
Sorry if this isn't what you want - this is the best I could given the time constraints I had..
