WP-United: The phpBB - WordPress Integration Package

WP-United is a new integration package that glues together phpBB, the leading open source bulletin board, and WordPress, the popular blogging tool.

WP-United is for phpBB users who want to integrate WordPress into an existing community — perhaps using it as a content management system for articles, perhaps to offer their members personal blogs, or perhaps as a portal page. The choice is yours!

WP-United ties WordPress to a phpBB community, with login to WordPress (optionally) handled automatically by the integration package.
