They are seperate.  Kinda like how one apache server can have multiple
"virtual" websites.

I hope I was understood when I mentioned cross posting.  Not 2 sites in
Sync but rather where it's applicable, a link that references the
other.  My thought being that if someone could only write his
"contribution" in English or German, a link + babelfish would still make
it usable for the other. (I couldn't count the number of times I've used
French, Japanese or German sites just this way.) Heck sometimes I don't
even bother with babelfish since "code is code".
