I've made a simple lock mechanism. I believe this lock mechanism should work both on Windows and Linux (I've only tested on Linux and only on a local filesystem). I'll test it in windows and shared filesystems later. 2012/3/1 Jaap Karssenberg jaap.karssenb...@gmail.com On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at

SparkleShare is nice with zim. I notice that due to the frequent saving in zim, there is a rush of updates being pushed to the git server. The problem is, as Jaap notes, that if a page changes behind the scene while somebody is editing a page, there will be a conflict. -- Svenn
