We would need a way to ensure that we don't end up with every single
wavefile that has been contributed to a project included in every
session. This is where a subversion type approach is helpful.

Could we provide an app which diffs project files and creates a small
torrent with only the relevant additions? It could also have an option
to package the complete session in case someone wanted to start a fork.

Cheers.
