The Ardour Session Exchange application is designed to collaborate with a group of people, but '''only one person at a time should exchange, edit the session, . and then save the session sessions,before allowing others to proceed ''' with the exchange exchanging and editing of filesthese sessions.

This application reminds me of the '''SVN ''' or '''RCS ''' applications mentioned previously, except there seems to be no safeguards to "lock files" when they have been "exchanged" or "checked-out" to be worked on by other users. Perhaps a locking mechanism would be in order in a future release of this application. Perhaps this type of safeguard would be too "imposing" for the artistic or collaborative process of composers, that should be able to communicate to prevent those type of mistakes from happening.

'''Regardless, this is an interesting tools which believe I will use many times in the future....'''

The next type of collaborative application is called Ninjam, and it encourages colloborating collaborating (jamming) in real-time (''or more appropriately in "fake-time"'')...
