In fact our users are not alway on same site as the server. Some time it can become difficult to have nfs connection. Also I'm not sure to use a local server, perhaps we will use a server somewhere on a datacenter. An other point is about editing, I want to manage right and rules for editing/adding/delete (this could be done by a NFS server, it's ok). I think that I can do somethink like this with a webdav server but it will always need to be dependent to the computed configuration (webdav/nfs mounting) and a network connection. And last point, I want also that the plugin handle an offline mode with a local cache. Currently we work with a subversion repository for footprints. So we have "like a local cache" but sometime users forgot to update/commit/add... I want to make this completly transparent with this plugin... At the beginning, I had take a look at the github plugin. This plugin is realy good but it does not allow (as I understand) to work with an other server than github. Anyway, new pretty format will help me for creating this. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
