- Multiple people using it at once - once you open the file, it's locked (or should be), meaning multiple people can't really work on it at once
- Speed - it's practically impossible to test play any game over these types of networks, even though a 100Mbps LAN connection

This server is probably actually powerful enough to run this thing, so that's probably not an issue.

Version control systems such as Subversion are much nicer - they allow multiple people to work on it at once (it has merging capabilities), and also records what's been changed etc, which allows rollbacks and so on.

Nevertheless, thanks for the idea :)

Well I am not going to fight over it.  Selling, deploying and distributing this product for the last 4 years have taught me one thing.  If peopledo not get it not even a hammer to the head will fix that.  Thanks for thinking of it.
