Fantastic, thanks Vitor.

Aha, these are all the questions to answer.
So far I haven't thought this through completely, so any input is valued.
I can see this working in three steps
1) Shared Login
I think we need a way to support shared login, perhaps we could use an
existing mechanism like OpenID (http://www.danga.com/openid/) so that
people only need to register on one site. Then other sites can enable
shared login from whichever sites they prefer.
Rights would be managed by the local server administrator, since we are
splitting things up by project anyway this would be fine.
2) Project Redirection
Say somebody logins into pootle.wordforge.org and then wants to work on
a Portuguese project. The link redirects them to zion.paradigma.pt and
automatically logs them in there.
This should be fairly simple
3) Transparent redirection
This could involve proxying through the server you are using so that
your queries go to another server but you are not aware of it.
4) Failover
This would need some more infrastructure - basically the files are
synchronised between sites.
The easiest level would be doing a master that is read-write and then
only allowing read-only access when in failover mode (but this would
still be useful).
It would be more complex to handle changes being made on more than one
system.
In terms of managing different Pootle versions, the less the integration
the easier it is - so 1, 2, 3 above should be fairly simple as long as
the different versions support the same login system
