I can only second that. Firstly your contribution and dedication is
outstanding and very welcome.

Secondly I have a more capitalistic view here. I feel if I receive help and
support from the list, I should pay it back and help others, or to put
it  more philosophical the moral obligation to help....

Well but this was just because I was faced to use a bit a similar
approach, by putting a directory on dropbox that is under version
control. My collaborators load up their changes inform me and I commit
on dropbox, crossing my fingers every time. That is why I was more
sensitive to his remark about OneDrive.[1]

Well that gets now really off-topic

Footnotes:
[1]  We tried out well mercurial not git for some weeks but most of my
collaborators find the idea of merging strange in the sense they
expected the server to merge conflicts for them, and that is I thing why
subversion is still around, it feels more natural for quite some people.
