Dear JabRef developers, a colleague of mine explained me that they are sharing a common bibliography file with many scientists at their institute using a version control system and JabRef: All users call a shell script for starting JabRef. This script first checks out or updates a working copy of the common bibliography file that is located on the version control system server. Then JabRef is started on the current working copy. After the modifications are done and JabRef is closed, the working copy is checked into the server again. Collisions appear only very rarely. In case of problems, old revisions of the bibliography file can be restored from the version control system.
Could we include some of this functionality into JabRef? Are there any thoughts of future JabRef development in the direction of multiuser support? -- Bye, Kolja ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
