Re: [Avid-L2] Re: What will Avid do?

The rigging idea is great and I think it could work really well for multiple
editors working on templated projects - and I'd love to see tools like that
more widely available. But I can't beleive that it's really designed for
that purpose when it seems that the redesign makes collaboratbive editing
even more impractical and difficult than it had been before.
