Hi,
First of, I'm very pleased of this project (we can call it a project, Mith?), I think that a project like this can bring more peoples to XOOPS - one of the most common question about forums is 'how do I integrate this within my website?'.
Do you plan to add support for more forums with your Conjecture (vBulletin, Invision Power Board.. Maybe I can make a nice list for you, if you want)?
Second: are you using $xoopsuser for things like permissions, usernames or what - for cbb or other forums bridged to XOOPS you can do it, but what if one is using a separate forum software that not share (or bridge) the userbase with XOOPS - and maybe don't need to give submits capability to users?
And about your questions (I'm not sure at all, I don't use SMF and months are passed since I've looked at it - and smf website is down, right now):
1) Give a look to ssi.php, I think there is something like this under a 'news' function, methink;
2, 3) Take a look to /sources/post.php
4) not sure at all, the main function is dislpay(), if I don't remember all wrong.. but I really don't remember where is located (maybe sources/display.php?)
banned,
