   I think multiple suggestions are getting mixed up...iirc somebody did   
   suggest renaming in some fashion would allow an individual user to make   
   changes.  Of course, that raises the issue of then having to try to   
   somehow merge the changes or simply ignoring some over the acceptance of   
   others.

   Absolutely no clues to that have been offered, but it's clear they need   
   to check each received file into a version control system and only   
   retrieve/use files from that repository via a single-user-at-a-time   
   option for check out for modifications although allowing multiple   
   viewing might be desirable.   
      
   With that, I'm now going to mark the thread "ignore"...
