[Sonya Norris]

Hi Ed,
I have a list of enhancements for 1.4.1 but not for .2. Can you send
one? Thank you!

    I think the most people we've had logged
    in and editing resources at once is around
    a dozen, but there's no inherent limitation.

    If slowdowns occur you may want to turn off
    continuous updating of the search database
    and manually rebuild it after you're done,
    though that probably won't be an issue.

    The only issue I'd really be concerned with
    is making sure that people aren't stepping
    on each other's toes when editing records.
    If you have several people editing the same
    record at once, it's likely that someone's
    changes are going to be overwritten.


    If you can wait, it may be worth holding off
    and upgrading to 1.4.2 when it's out later
    this month, as the new resource editor is
    definitely faster and easier to use.

    Ed
