I support this.

I have a bunch of promotional material on my local machine. Without a shared 
repository, it's difficult to know what's available.

What distinguishes "promo people" who would have read/write/delete privileges? 
Who are these people?

One additional recommendation...information about applications that generated 
the source material. 

Almost everything I do ends up in Scribus. I'm currently using Scribus 1.5.1, 
which is compatible with 1.5, but which is not backwards compatible with 
earlier Scribus versions. Documents prepared with earlier versions can 
generally be opened by later versions...not always the case though. 

Versions 1.5 and 1.5.1 are not recommended for production environment...I like 
the Qt 5 environment and save a lot.

Scribus is the promo material app that is most prone to this obstacle. I 
haven't seen it with Inkscape or ODF documents.

Thanks for making this happen Andreas.

Carl
