This is primarily what we're implementing oAuth for. You can limit/expose whatever user data you want, via an API, amongst your various web properties via auth requests, assuming the user is authenticated via OpenID. If you're pinging the db directly, you get rid of a lot of the dupe user entries and dupe org names as the data is more normalized than it is through Wikidsmart, based on the demo I saw.

Once you implement your API, you can expose it to Wikidsmart, Stackalytics, etc.. so you're all dealing with the same data. If this is the direction you want to head, let's spec it out and go from there.

Thanks!
