Hello,

This module looks incredibly useful --

A quick question: could this be used for collaborative editing? What would happen if two people were editing this node at the same time?

Would the updates/changes be reflected in the browser for both users?

Thanks for your time in answering this -- I realize that your intended use is for code, but if it could be extended to allow for collaborative editing of node content, it would solve a lot of problems with getting more robust collaborative editing into Drupal.

Thanks,

Bill

Probably the greatest advantage to collaborative editing that this module can offer is the ability to quickly put content that is normally only available through forms into flat files, and then adding those files to version control. That way, the content can take advantage of the kinds of tools available through versioning, like merging and rolling back.

To use this module in a team, I think you would need to agree on some conventions on how to use it first. I haven't thought through the team-based workflow much, as this module is the result of a particular need I had that didn't involve a team, so I'm hoping to get some input on that.

Thanks!
Chris
