I am confused, in order to synchronise efforts we both need to use the
same repository, thats what (as far as I am aware) monticello is for.
Within monticello there is scope for forking and merging. This happens
frequently in the seaside pier repositories. Users like myself tweak a
few things and then the maintainer merges in those tweaks into the most
recent version which is taken as the 'final' word. I.e. anything with
.lr in the pier stream is taken as good ;-)

My releases to monticello is me saying "here you are here is some code,
have a go see what you think feedback invited etc", that is my part in
the "synchronisation".  By you using the changeset approach you seem to
be saying that you are not wanting to play.

Monticello is right there, and the user feedback from users using
monticello is actually quite good. I got 12 emails telling me what
worked and what didnt only yesterday (admittedly from one person).  I
have a mouse that only goes to the left, a keyboard whose keys stick
frequently and the 'w' only works when it wants to. Added to that I am
supposed to be a 'carer' now not a 'coder', and life at home is
extremely stressful.

How does the changeset approach manage changes to the environment, for
example the fix that Lukas provided for FileDirectory for use with
seasidehosting?

I am quite dismayed (indeed embarrassed) at how long it is taking me to 
get pier-magma support working on seasidehosting.

I shall have a look at your changeset, as soon as I am able.

best regards

Keith
