If it's one class per file, that can sorta work, assuming two people never need to work on different parts of the same class.

If there are multiple classes in a single file, exclusive access won't work very well at all.

And locking a single file doesn't help if I check in changes to a different file that your changes depend on. You still can't check in yourself until you merge with my changes and resolve any conflicts.

If colliding on the very same area of code is a concern, we should use the mailing list to announce the areas we're actively working on. That way we can all avoid making big changes to the same area at the same time.

It's one class per file, yes. And they're mostly independent, save thread and post. That's where my worry is. That and the basis of the page template -- those are where mutually buggering changes are most likely.

Well, CVS prevents mutually buggering changes from being committed. You can't check in until your local copy is up-to-date with the repository.

Here's how it works:

I have showthread.php;1.3 on my Mac and I've edited it. You then commit a change, making the current version 1.4. If I tried to commit my changed, CVS would mock me with "up-to-date check failed for showthread.php;1.3".

After I wept bitter tears, I would use cvs update to update my local copies. CVS would merge your changes (diff between 1.3 and 1.4) into my local copy. Unless we had edited the exact same lines of code, this would happen automagically. If we had edited the same lines, cvs would make it look like this:

>>>>>>>> showthread.php 1.4

>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>

I would then have to figure out how to resolve our conflict. Usually it's obvious.

Now, one hitch in this is that I could check in some files before I failed the up-to-date check on showthread.php. This is the reason you always want to update your local copy right before you check in. That way you don't half-way check in some changes and then have to quickly resolve conflicts to check in fully.

I got this quote:

Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Xander, 'Gingerbread'

But I think the quote is from "Ted"

The Vonnegut-guy is correct. The transcript site confirms it was "Ted".

Done. Season changed from 3 to two.

The Vonnegut-guy is correct.

Hee, Vonnegut. Okay, done now. (But... Vonnegut-girl. It amuses me that tralfamadore is masculine, or usually seen that way.)

Thanks, ita. Okay, really done now.

ita, the link above is your message is from this thread so I hope I can ask you this here? Or we can move to technology?

I'd like to use a similar format to create a book list. If I can. How'd you do it?

I'm thinking that I could use a Word table for columns 2 & 3 (or whatever). Then the link part - is there any way to do that besides cutting and pasting this " [a href=http://www.linky.com]I am a link[/a]", going to a post and cut/pasting its URL into "linky.com", cut/pasting some reference word into "I am a link"? Because it's more cutting/pasting per row/column than I think I want to tackle.

edit: I hope this works. I can't even get the message to stay! 2nd edit: yay!

Are you asking how to create an HTML table? Because that's all that that is. As for the links, you could always use a WYSIWYG html editor.
