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.
