I think it is a good idea to send this message to <a href="mailto:ved_prac@math.cas.cz" target="_blank">ved_prac@math.cas.cz</a>, <br>
some settfa members are not our institute members. In general, I would <br>
support this idea, although I prefer to work offline and sometimes use <br>
git for synchronization. On the other hand, git is a bit advanced and it <br>
is perfectly understandable that someone doesn't want to learn it.<br>

All the best,<br>
