well thats assuming the base evolt CMS is going to be sitting on each 
*.evolt.org site. in fact, its probably going to be a different story.

a good example would be dir.evolt.org. it would be cool to let evolt 
members(those that have a record in the main evolt DB) rate and comment 
upon entries within that site(written in PHP and using MySQL for its 
actual *content* DB) while 'leveraging'(ugh.) members of the evolt 
community that already have a login/username/etc on the main evolt site.

dir.evolt.org shouldn't need to query the main evolt DB to get a users 
information(nor do we want it to). it should be able to take info out of 
the cookie that was set by ueue.evolt.org and get a username/userid/priv 
level to store within its solitary MySQL DB.

hopefully that makes sense :)
