Sorry to repeat the subject line, but...

Is the SMF forum used on this site in a wrapper?

Right then...that's what I'm doing! Messing about with all this wrapper nonsense! No way José!

So, any pointers on this? Anyone done a good Mambo/SMF theme document?

Good question. You're not the only one would find such information useful. A guide on getting started would be most welcome.

Can anyone take 5 minutes and put down 5 lines of high level best practise for a Joomla/SMF integration please?

eg - possibly something like....

1) Download SMF
2) Install on Server in same directory as Joomla
3) Install integration program
4) Integrate DB 
etc etc
or whatever it actually is!!
