Thanks for adding this.

From the feedback that I get from my end, the academics have all 
responded positively for this type of "collaboration", they do not like 
to have "many at once" on a file as they see too much wasted time being 
done by students. They have more use for the ability to edit one file by 
one user, and then have another user able to edit the same file later 
on, and then another user do the same etc.. But, that may be only the 
view of my local contacts here who work in the music field at the 
university level (undergraduate and graduate levels). However, this has 
interested them enough to consider perhaps moving to LibreOffice from 
MSO ...

The only negative, is that they would like to see a working example on 
our servers, and, I imagine that the IT staff at the universities would 
also like to see a working model, which, at this point, we do not 
provide. IMO, this should be on our "should have list" ... setting up 
any kind of (cloud) server with CMIS capability and to allow users the 
testing of LibreOffice CMIS and file exchange.

Cheers,

Marc
