This allows us to run Fossil servers on our PCs so we can sync between each others PCs in a peer-to-peer arrangement. Note, Fossil doesn't directly support peer-to-peer sync'ing, so we use scripts to perform sync'ing. This also means that Fossil's auto-sync feature is of limited value to us. PS: In theory, the each project lead could designate one laptop as the main server for his/her projects. In practice, this doesn't work because the primary reason most of us have 2 laptops is that the older and newer ones have different interface ports available. For example, older ones have PCcard slots while newer ones have ExpressCard slots. As such, we can't designate one as "always there". PPS: The project managers actually do always leave their older laptops at their desks. However, we do not and will not host code repos on those. Ticket-only repos, only. (Yes, this means us devs have to have a pair of repos for each project. Inconvenient, but workable.)
