Collaboration usually includes some bits of social networking as well, such as users that did the changes, ratings, comments and and whatnot. All of this is lost during the synchronization procedures, all that is known is that the changeset came from a certain unit, and it's cumulative, so it hides all of the singular changes made by the users sitting in the unit. Imho all that remains is synchronisation, the social aspect is completely wiped out in the protocol (besides the fact that ratings and comments were not there to start with) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
