Hi Raydhitya,

You should have received a preliminary reply from me right after your first 
request. However, I was ill last week so I could not compose my follow-up mail 
earlier.

I just granted you the permission to push new changes which then can be 
reviewed by the other developers. As every new developer, you are not allowed 
to commit those changes to our central repository yet. Your changes will stay 
in our review system until a senior developer approves them.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I read your feature proposal: That 
does not sound like Saros's main purpose. Instead, it looks like you want to 
add version control features without using version control. Did you consider 
using SVN or Git in your use case? For clarification: Could you sketch the 
problems your proposal could solve, which a workflow using Saros and version 
control couldn't?

Best Regards,
Franz

Subject: [DPP-Devel] Asking Idea

I asked for push permission a week ago and still waiting for the reply.
Meanwhile I explored Saros using JTourBus and it's log and now I want to ask 
about my idea.
I'm currently an undergraduate student in Institut Teknologi Bandung which 
located in Indonesia. I'm interested in Global Software Development (GSD) and 
decided to make GSD as my final project. So, after discussing with my 
supervisor and researching for tools which help doing GSD project I found out 
about Saros.

My idea is basically adding asynchronous feature to Saros. The feature's use 
case will be when two or more programmers working on one project and they are 
separated geographically.
It consists of 3 features:
1. Record session so programmers can know their previous sessions;
2. Gives highlight to what have been changed from previous version like diff;
3. Asynchronous messaging like email.

The use case will be one day the programmers sit in a session together. Then 
one will logged out from the session first because of time difference. Next day 
 the programmers whom logged out first can receive message from other 
programmers and his/her project synchronize with the change after he/she left 
plus adding color highlighting to the difference.
I tried sharing one project and when the remote user choose existing 
destination Saros will overwrite the contents. So my first question: is it 
possible to change this behavior to check the destination project similarity 
against host project and add the difference?

Second question, how about the concept of persistent session with predefined 
project and users? Is this possible?
One last feature my supervisor suggested is non automatic synchronization for 
some parts of the project. During one session, one programmer can make the 
project uncompilable at the same time the other programmer want to compile the 
project. Finally last question: is it possible to synchronize only when the 
programmer wants to do so?

I'll really appreciate any given help.

Thank you,
Raydhitya
