I never considered the possibility of two people working on the same EDL at the same time. I figured it would be like working on a CVS server where you "check out" an EDL, or make a new copy, and it only becomes available to everyone else when you check it back in. Of course, if an EDL were checked out, someone else who wanted to work on it could make another copy, and then there'd be two versions. I guess there are political implications to that sort of thing, where you'd have competing EDLs, but there's no need a given piece needs to have only one official edit or mix; whoever's the "leader" can release one, and maybe people would regard that as being the definitive one (like the Linus kernel), but other people could do their own edits or mixes and sometimes those would prove to be more popular. > Maybe it should just be a torrent that includes the project config > file, audio files and lash config file? > That way people can distribute a complete session in one torrent. > If we make a site for hosting the torrents then we don't have to > deal with bandwidth issues. I've seen people do experiments with updating torrents, for things like picture and MIDI file collections. If you have a 900-file set and someone updates it to have 950 files, almost all of which are identical, you can start the new torrent, stop it, copy the contents of the old completed torrent into the new one's directory, resume it, and only the new stuff will come down. I've done it myself a couple times with things like Mandriva interim releases. The trouble is, there are no clients that I know of that allow you to do that easily. In fact, it's usually very cumbersome, sometimes requiring you to quit the client before doing the copy. I don't have a good solution for that without writing yet another specialized BT client.
