Well I don't like very much this idea.  We would like a forum on the
public web site.  Again, I can probably do it myself by making a new
class uiforum_sitemgr (something), that will deal with the same boforum
class as the forum.   There a few problem in this that i noticed: 

1.  Forum uses nextmatches class, which refer to few things like
PHPGW_TEMPLATE_DIR and theme colors.  It doesn't seem that we have
access to theses things in the SiteMgr... 

2.  There doesn't seem to be a system that allows to do things like 
$GLOBALS['phpgw']->link('/index.php','menuaction=forum.uiforum.index')
to have direct access to the functions, which would allows me to just
plug the ui as is... 

3.  We would like to have a read-only forum for the user anonymous (ie.:
sitemgr).  This is not your problem, but anyway... 

This is what I understand after few hours trying to figure it out, so I
might be wrong...

I guess it is the sitemgr/doc/hooks-requirements.txt.   As I understand
the way you see it, sitemgr will pass through all applications, and the
ones which would have hook_sitemgr will then have one or more links in
the "link bar" or something like this.  I don't understand the
"properties" thing though...

As I told you, we do need a public forum in the sitemgr as soon as
possible, and I have some time for coding.  It will be nice to do it the
nice way instead of patching all around, so i would be very glad to help
you!
