I personally do not use clocking but common tasks sound useful. However the
question remains as to the sharing and simultaneous editing of the files by
multiple persons. In the clock thread you mention your use of SVN for that. For
my requirements SVN would be overkill, hence my simple setup as a workaround.
More collaboration features for Org-mode would be great though.
