Hence, my topic http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2010-06/msg00277.html. 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.
