Tell me about it. I work on projects that are statewide in scope. Many
involve custom software to which multiple people contribute. We have
seamless version control even though the contributors are spread up and down
the state. Anything can be done if one is willing to put forth the effort to
do it.

Or at least matured enough to learn that what one person finds workable (or
not workable) does not necessarily apply to everyone else on the planet. It
would not hurt to lose the self-righteousness typically found in "save the
world" attitudes, either.
