With a reasonably slow link, I see this as a pain in the ass. However, I think the potential benefits (potentially) far outweigh the above. In suggesting a coordinated approach, I was getting ready to quickly duck if the hairy finger of responsability turned to point in my direction. Getting the patches together to distribute initially was painful enough, and I have been wondering (in my sleep) how I was going to handle the second round of diffs, including others' diffs with mine. Sounds like you have a plan. > > If it does, please reply to the group.

Not having worked with one of these centralized CVS repositories before, initial concerns include: - what if someone has the file checked out I want? - coordination of effort - resolution of conflicts (please: no #ifdefs)
