George, after leaving a message yesterday about MERGE files Vs. complete source upload, I have been thinking about a DIFF utility. Not as easy as it sounds. I suggest that if we are to have a 'projects' section, that it would be wise to have an operational DIFF in order to simplify and shorten the uploads. If this type of utility isn't available, the problem of multiple directions of development on any given project will be magnified, and the problems of merging source changes will be horrendous. I think it's a GREAT idea though. Perhaps our first project should be a DIFF?
