For security reasons the root directory of each project is protected by ACLs. Write access is limited to the member of the projects' group. When somebody starts working on a project he has to start a setup script. This starts new shell, sets the projects' group to the primary group, and sets several environment variables. Then the user normally starts an Emacs and keeps it running until he has to reboot his computer. It must be rather inconvenient to have to run multiple Emacs jobs if you are working on different projects. If you can think of Emacs changes that would enable you to avoid that, we could consider them.
