We are running several plone (3.1.7) instances under zope (2.10.6-final, python 2.4.5, linux2) - and we're wondering whether it is possible to have shared members on several of these instances (i.e. - a shared member can jump between several instances without having to log in every time - AND with the possibility to copy material from one instance and paste into another.
Under normal conditions, this may not be desired functionality; - but there are of course scenarios when such behviour would be very smart.
In a previous setup (earlier versions of pone and zope2), we discovered that it IS INDEED possible to achieve such functionality,- but we realise that this is, most likely, not a safe and smart way to set up instances. What I did - while in zope top level - I simply duplicated one plone instance (with members) and then renamed it, and from there on, edited each instance separately. In this way, I can have each instance active and open in separate browser windows, - and I can swop from one to the other. AND, importantly, I can copy and paste material from one to the other, without having to export/import (which is the only other way we know of that allow this).
Anyone out there who have experience with this?!

mulitple plone instances - shared members?
