[techtalk] File sharing over the internet

[kath]

I was thinking CVS... but not keeping changes local is important (so noone
is holding out on something important on accident).

Would CVS be able to do this?  I always thought CVS was more like a
different kind of FTP (How I've come to understand it is that you have
people that can update the source and others that can just view and download
it.  Am I missing something?)
