What does bridging do for me?

I've been able to bridge coppermine and xoops (with a LOT of help from this forum) and now that it is done, what does bridging do?  Both the coppermine and xoops sites look exactly the same.

Bridge is for single sign on only, it will share users (use xoop login for authentication) between gallery and xoop

Thanks for the info!

That makes much more sense than what I was thinking (that it made one app become a 'plugin' for the other).
