Exactly. As long as it can be used remotely through a virtual server that all parties can access, this can be extremely useful for the co-production of products where specialists in one discipline or another can work on assets MUCH faster (virtually real-time) from within the same scene file, cutting down on production time significantly. Think about how this has to work right now. If I were doing the modeling of a particular product, but Lobo was going to do the UV's of that object or the texture/materials then I would have to finish the model, save the blend file, zip it up in a container that can be efficiently transferred over email or upload it to a dropbox, then he would have to download it, do his work on it and repeat the process to send it to the next person or back to me. That could take a lot of time.

Using a script like this, we could both coordinate our time to work together on a model the same day at virtually the same time, while keeping productivity moving like an assembly line until the scene or product was complete. Very efficient and useful for cooperative asset production. This could really change the way content production is done in Blender for a number of reasons. Even content that is intended to be used in other software applications.

I'd definitely be interested in trying out this type of workflow in the near future with anyone willing to share in the content production or working on a scene.

I would seriously consider it I know I feel some what competent with my modeling and even perhaps my UV skills but texturing setting up cameras and fine tuning a render or compositing is still out of my league plus for a group of beginners or intermediates could work on a project together and perhaps bring something to market more quickly plus as a team can bring recognition to a group of artist where trying to do it all by yourself might discourage yourself because you do not have skills in one area or another that might discourage you from trying. That is some really positive food for thought LuxXeon
