If you/your fellow workers don't use GIT or another VCS, there is still dropbox - put your project text files in your dropbox folder and share them with other, there are automatic backups of older versions by Dropbox. Or you wait for colorg to be released, that would probably fit your needs exactly -- cheers, Thorsten
