Hi,
We would like to test if we could use this module for a setup as it was intended (a global international site for a company, and several local websites for the company). However we'd like to hear some opinion on how well this module would interact with other modules.
We already developed the corporate website, and would need to create about 20-30 local websites who are practicaly the same, except that they come with some extra local content. It should be as easy as possible to create a new local website. This og_sites module is perfect to define which content of the corporate website goes onto which local subsite. It also provides the local subsites with the ability to create their own local content.
We are thinking about using a multisite setup together with this module, but is it possible to share more tables when using this module? We use quite some complex modules on the corporate site (CCK, views, i18n, panels,...) and would like to achieve that all these settings don't have to be redone on every local subsite.
Or will we have to configure every subsite from scratch? This would make both creation and administration quite a lot of work though... Maybe someone has a clear view on whether this seems possible or not?
Any help appreciated!

The og_sites module is written to be easily extensible to support other modules.
See the og_sites/modules directory. To add support for a new module, create a new .inc file in this directory, e.g., mymodule.inc, and implement the og_sites hooks to designate tables for sharing, add menu items, or alter forms.
og_sites hasn't had extensive use or testing and isn't something I've spent further time on after the initial work done for a client.
