Easy to do, this is supported already in Zikula 1.  We can authenticate
against any external service (we already have an implementation for OpenID,
and a couple for university authentication systems in various places).

Writing a module for Zikula is pretty simple for a competent PHP developer,
so while nothing that we have at the moment would do this it could probably
be written by someone according to a spec.  We have several modules
supporting content with revisions control, and our next release will use
gettext for translation of the interface components.
