The LDAP server is on the private network inside the zope.org  
"cluster" and not reachable by the outside world, so as of right now  
that's not possible.

If we continue down the path of microsites the issue of shared  
authentication will become more and more urgent.

If LDAP is still an option (I know quite a few people don't like it  
because they perceive it as complicated or hard to wrap ones brain  
around) the first step would be to set up a central LDAP server  
instance that can be reached over the internet by the different  
microsites. This can be bootstrapped with a data export from the old  
zope.org server, not a big issue. There might be an issue with  
latency if the geographically widely dispersed microsites don't have  
excellent network connectivity towards that central LDAP server,  
which in turn can be solved by LDAP slaves closer to the microsite host.

 From that description you'll see an obvious cost/benefit issue for  
each microsite that has to be considered carefully, as the cost also  
involves setting up and maintaining the LDAP client pieces on the  
microsite host.
