[oXygen-user] Shared project files

[Christian Wittern]

Dear Sorin,

Thanks for the explanation. I will ask my users again, now that I better
understand the problem. I think it should be possible to solve our
conflicts now (Unfortunately, the users have no experience with SVN at all).

All the best,

Christian
