That does i need to run this component?
for this component alone you needs only joomla 1.0.x
it should run with PHP4 und PHP5(tested)
some modules like vbulletin can have own requirements ( vbulletin module needs php5 + SOAP extension )
That does this component do?
this component allow you to connect different applications to joomla over SOAP/XMLRPC, SQL Connects ( other methods are posible too )
You should use this component if you wants to have common login with an aplications ( which based on cookie login (session to, because it use cookie to store a sessionid
))it is posible to create own moduless to connect any applications
