At the moment, documents are mainly produced in the wiki and at oooauthors (which in fact is a ODT repository). In the wiki, one can subscribe to any Page change notification by e-mail, so it should be very easy to monitor any changes for any given time period. A nice "diff"-like functionality. For the ODT, I don't know if such functionality is or could be easily implemented. In my eyes, it should automatically compare a given document version with another and report the changes. This should be done periodically (daily or weekly or whatever). But it should also be possible to trigger it manually. > So, where next?
