ok. So it will be: 

http://ask.fedoraproject.org ?

ok. I kinda dislike putting more in the same db box, but thats a
problem for all the existing dbs too, that we should solve at the db
level (with replication, etc). So, we can just stick it on db01.stg /
real db. 

I assume there's no issue in the app running on multiple machines with
the same db backend. Mether?
