AskBot as an independent app, but sharing users with another

Hi, due to the complexity of my app, I would like to run AskBot as an independent app (which I would style to give the illusion, to some extent, that the user is on the same site).

The app would end up being at mysite.com/questions/

Obviously I want to:

  1. Share the user credential
  2. Disable Login/Logout from AskBot
  3. Share the user avatars

Could I achieve this by means of sharing the same database between my app and askbot, and of course doing some customization of askbot's code (which I have forked already)?

Thank you!
