Hello everybody!

I need to make a two sites which will share some of the content and have other content separated from each other.

Example: i've got two sites each listing some content related to a city (lets say one for NYC, one for Washington). I want to use single DB for both of them, each site should display info corresponding to it's city and moreover, they both should have a section with info corresponding to Moscow (i.e. common)
each of the sites should also have it's own theme, maybe menu, but share users and permissions

I would like to use common modules for representing content (such as CCK, Views, etc). Is drupal in-core multisiting suitable for this? Or maybe there are some tricks to implement this using taxonomy (like this http://geekfun.com/2005/08/11/drupal-trick-multiple-subdomains-one-datab...). Development of custom code is allowed.

Thanks in advance

Nope-- once you want to share content I would recommend not using a hacked multisite implmentation. I would probably go with the http://drupal.org/project/domain module but yes, you could probably also do it with taxonomy and subdomains.
