If you're doing little or nothing in the way of Python development in base classes (e.g. you're doing all of your development in the instance or in ZClasses), you may want to take a look at ZEO (http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO). Setting up the ZEO "storage server" overseas and using a local Zope client as a sort of object cache might make the situation bearable and solve your synchronization problem. ZEO caches objects until they're invalidated by the storage server, so the object is read once and can be accessed many times until invalidated without needing to cross the wire to the storage server. If you are doing development on Python-based Products, you can still do this, but it's complicated badly by need to be very careful that the two installations keep "shared" Python modules (ala Product files) synchronized as well, as if they get out of sync, one of the two of you is going to end up with a broken Zope incessantly. It's not an ideal setup. There is no generic diff or merge facility for two arbitrarily modified Data.fs files.

Hi, At the moment I am in a situation where I am working for a company overseas across the Internet. Because of the lag between us and the fact that I am working over a modem we have chosen both to have a copy of the Data.fs files and when I complete a project (or at the end of the day) I export the files I have modified. The only problem is at the end of a hard day of working remembering which files I have changed. What would be a better solution is somesort of syncronisation between both copies of our Data.fs files so I can see the updates they have made and they can see the updates I have made at the end of each day.
Is this possible and how can I do it?
Thanks all, Brenton Bills.
