I can perhaps help with YOG. Is there a specification of sql tables and
command we have to use? If you want to help us make this change, I suggest
we make a small C++ object, that looks like this:

//! Interface to mediawiki user and password
class YOGMediaWikiInterface
{
//! Create a new login, return true on success
bool createLogin(const std::string &username, const std::string &password);
//! Login a user, return true on success
bool login(const std::string &username, const std::string &password);
//! Logout a user
void logout(const std::string &username);
};

We can test the implementation of this class using a C++ SQL interface
(any C++ SQL guru here?) separately and when it works, it shouldn't be
that difficult to implement in YOGserver, I think could manage this if
nuage is occupied. Nuage, did I forget anything in the class that is
required by YOG?
