Sitecore’s sdn.sitecore.net site is a wonderful resource for more information like the above and has its own forums.

I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get advice from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Cheers!

For lightweight integration, I do like the use of IDs or Keywords in a Sitecore field, that you can then use to query external systems. We’ve also done integrations that use a custom field to allow the user to query/choose items in that external system.

Data provider integrations do have a lot of gotchas, as you note. I’ve tried to document some of those here: http://www.techphoria414.com/Blog/Black-Art-of-Sitecore-Data-Providers.aspx
