Or do you mean version control rather > than project management? I'd like to be able to create/delete/rename pages as well. Theres no need to be tight with bandwidth so whole page updates are OK. FF/FB have 99% of what I need for client side and I wanted to see if there was any kind of standard for 'projects' that could be interfaced with. Have you had a chance to play with ff3.5b? The javascript speedup is quite incredible. I just hope people take the opportunity to start designing client side components for full blown client site web design. I think with a bit of JS and possibly SVG visual designers are a real possibility. But with luck people will think "I don't need to design for anything other than FF and I can get on with work and not compatability!" We're not far from ditching the desktop - you got FF3.5 you can do your work anywhere!
