"Was such a mess worth the trouble ?"

Yes.  Having gnu.org in the url of non-GNU projects is highly misleading.

"What about sharing at least prefs & such things ?"

Prefs that depends  on the database are already share. Prefs that depends on 
cookies not.

Summary:  New "nongnu.org" site breaks sessions and prefs

Original Submission:  I just discovered that non-gnu projects appear to have 
been migrated to savannah.nongnu.org - maybe some announcement should be done 
so that people would know something changed.

As a consequence of this change, when I login as usual in s.gnu.org, then 
follow an admin link to one of my projects, I reach an annoying "Insufficient 
Group Access".  If I login there, I do not get my prefs.

We wait for the mailing-list to works with the correct domain names.

The problem is that savannah.gnu.org and savannah.nongnu.org are two virtuals 
hosts, understood as too differents servers. Session are stored via cookie for 
a particular server. So you need to be logged in the two separate servers.
