See http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:BV1 there's some explanation in the slides there.
Be warned: this could be totally outdated by now.
Greetings, Tuvic

Perhaps someone can explain this to me a bit better... for instance, my username on en: is Philippe. There is a Philippe on just about every other project. How will that work? For instance, will several other Philippes all need to change their (well-established in most cases - thousands of edits) usernames? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. A website I used to be on lost a significant number of users over something similar (several city based websites that went to a single login). Please excuse me if this is a question which has been asked before.
Philippe
