CVS is a cooperative tool and versioning system which has nothing to do with WIKI . For instance 2 or more people can work on the same file and the server will do any necessary merge when a commit occurs. Also, all the changes are tracked, versioned, with a comment. So you can find who did what at which time. You can also revert to any previous version without any problem (or see the difference between 2 versions of the file etc.). CVS is popular because it's free and 'just work' .

But you don't want any information (password or others things)?

Thank for the reply to my post.

That's good to know PB, as I would like as many people as possible to be able to play my 2D games (I'm really not interested in 3D at this time - Maybe when 3D is more mature on PB, but no hurry for me).

On the subject of editing the manual, I'm about 1/3 the way through (it's a slow process because I can only work on it an hour or so a day - When the spelling and grammar fixes are done, I do plan on inserting a User's Guide for the absolute beginner as well as possibly completely redesigning the whole layout....Time will tell how ambitious I end up being )

Stay Tuned...

Fred, hello!

There's no doubt that CVS is very useful and powerful, I'm just saying that from someone who doesn't use one all the time, it's not really very intuitive. That is, it's not immediately apparent what you're supposed to do. I guess if I understood it better I would like it better, maybe?

Another example of something that is very powerful and useful once you get to know it (but isn't immediately intuitive) is Adobe PhotoShop. Without looking in the manual, and with no prior PS-like experience (no prior PS experience, no JASC Paint Shop experience, etc) it is a bit of a trick to get anything painted at all! (I won't mention how amazingly sloooooow PS is, either).

It seems a lot of these programs are written by programmers/techies for like-minded people, and artists sometimes have a hard time grasping the 'workflow'.

Luckily, PB is not like this (too much...).

Is this feature in PB4.20 avalaible?
I have only found: but no information to use or test it

Actually there wasn't anything done since Fred wrote that.

I don't think its usable. It would need a major redesign before being made public.
Its not a priority though. I'm not sure i will ever continue this actually.
