Hi Jonny

You’ve lost me. I’m familiar with subversion, and I use it from time to time for the greater good. Don’t know what cvs is, and that leads me to suspect we’re talking about a different type of subversion.  Perhaps it is some form of web based storage and data management?

My friend Mike and I are working on some drawings collaboratively, and we synchronize our data manually.  Essentially we agree who, at any one time has the ‘master’ version of a particular set of files.  It works reasonably well, and would theoretically work for multiple users, admittedly with a high margin of error.

Bruce,

I don't know how I missed this message when you posted it initially. I just stumbled onto it searching through the archives for an example of something else. I too have been hoping to use Therion collaboratively, but I haven't been able to convince anyone else I survey with to learn Therion, so I've made little headway.

I was thinking of using cvs or subversion to maintain collaboratively generated data. This would cut down a fair bit on the hassle of manually keeping your workspace up to date. Of course, there is the additional hassle of using cvs (or subversion), but it shouldn't be too bad.

Again, I haven't actually done this, but I haven't thought of any major obstacles either.
