Ahh, that was my fear too after digging into it a bit.

The user models are quite different but of course most of the columns are 
semantically equivalent, just with different names. So I totally get your 
rant about a unified user/group/role model.

One thing I did think about. CE is mostly about contributions from 
non-privileged users and I'll definitely want to extend it with a lot of 
additional types and so on to do what I need. Refinery, seems to me, is more 
about a small group of content authors putting up content for general 
viewing in a mostly non-interactive way... Yeah, maybe you have comments and 
stuff, but it's mostly publishing. So in fact if you could simply unify the 
user store with authlogic + LDAP or something and run the two apps 
themselves as separate servers, it might actually work.

Anyway, many thanks for the advice. Hopefully I'll be able to get something 
workable and loosely coupled together, will let everyone here know if it 
works out.

Thanks,
--Hugh
