Hi SO, I've been given a task to connect multiple sites of the same client into a single network. So i would like to hear an architectural advice on connecting these sites into a single community.

These sites include:
1. Invision Power Board Forum (the most important site)
2. 3 custom made cms-s (changes to code allowable)
3. 1 drupal site
4. 3-4 wordpress blogs

Requirements are as follows:
1. Connecting all users of all sites into a single administrable entity. With permissions changing ability, users banning etc.
2. Later on, based on this implementation I have to implement "facebook like" chat, which will be available to all users regardless of place of login.

I have few ideas on my mind on how to go with this, but would like to hear some people with more experience and expertize than my self.

Cheers!
