Using a Tasking Manager solve most of the duplicate editing issues. The TM
breaks the the area into grids or a polygon shape you provide. Each mapper
checks out a section which is then locked to prevent others from editing at
the same time. You do need to remind people that the lock expires after 2
hours. All they need to do is exit from the task then reselect it to
restart the timer.
