Re: How to deal with small projects which are often changing their status/ person

Thanks Thorsten for your reply!

it is not about programming and it is not about plain text files, but MS
Office (Word) files..

Dropbox is not an option, maybe a document management system (DMS) with
versioning, but it is not in place yet.
And even if there is, how could  I then track my workflow with Emacs?

Kind regards

Martin
