Not sure how to describe what I may want to be able to do - but I'll try - then you can all laugh and I can forget about it for a few years...
Two of us 'edit' a newsletter. Strictly speaking my colleague edits, and I do the DTP. Then being an editor he gets the lay-ed out version and changes things... ...at the moment that's done by email, so he sends me an email saying - please change paragraph 4 on page 6 to... and I manually tweak... What I'd like to do is let him edit the sla file directly, now that there is a suitable windows version... In itself that's easy enough - there's a function to 'bundle it all up' and send it to him (can't remember proper name). The files are huge (60-90Mb?) so it would be on CD. He could edit it, re-write to CD and send back to me to do final DTP bits and send to printers... all a bit 'old fashioned'. He lives 300 miles away. So what's the modern electronic way? Can I put the files on a server and somehow give him access. I tend to find even with the images on a Samba Server I get 'missing image' messages a lot, with big red X's - obviously something with the Samba Path goes astray. Would scribus cope with a file remotely hosted? How would I host it? Would it involve downloading the whole 60-90Mb each and every time a file is opened? For Word Users - i think Office 2003 has this type of shared document feature - although I have no idea how its actually used...
