Hello,
During the org camp in Paris at one point the someone asked "hey org is
wonderful but how do we use it with multiple users?"
I am trying to envision what this would look like. One way to do it
would be to have users share their .org on a network drive. Org would
have to be able to fusion the multiple files into one. For example let's
imagine two users sharing a project:
User 1
* project
** TODO action a
** TODO action b
User 2
* project
** TODO action c
** TODO action b
The consolidated org file would look like this
* project
** TODO action a
** TODO action b
** TODO action c
** TODO action b
How do you envision multiple users org usage? I think it would be a
wonderful feature.
Take care,

Two ideas:
1. Instead of merging separate files, might one not use a common project
file and rely on tags and categories to mark ownership of tasks?
Bastien has a nice example of this in his column view tutorial:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-column-view-tutorial.html#sec-5
Similar example in the manual: (info "(org) Column attributes")
Merging in this scenario could then be left to git (or some other
dvcs).
2. User one file per user and rely on the agenda to create a task list
for the entire project.
Best,
Matt
