Besides the fact that for security reasons we may not be allowed the two
systems sitting on different server to access each other's DBs, we are
making the conscious decision to avoid any dependencies between two
different systems with a totally different code base and serving
different purposes, in order to make each of them easier to
maintain/upgrade independently of the other.

In other words, think of it as two different systems, each with their
own (separate) login/user registration mechanisms, just like the website
and Berlios, for example. :)

Cheers,

Koki
