Hi all,
I think we need two kinds of revision control features for OpenOffice: (Similar as Nicolas said.) 1. A VCS backend program like subclipse (http://subclipse.tigris.org/) 2. An one-package revision-aware ODF file creating feature (In other words, diff-able version of the current version control feature) First I thought that feature only we need is the first one because I'm a user of subversion (not only for program source code files but for all of my home directory data), however, I realized that the users of OpenOffice are not limited to programmers. Most user cannot use any VCS systems because they require users to be aware of some special notions such as "commit." Another important stuff is that an office document should be an all-in-one package. All we need to distribute information is a document; we can attach it to email without any additional information (e.g. "the old versions of the document are located on svn+ssh://...."). If we limit the revision control feature to the server-based one, we lose such a useful feature of office documents. That's reason why we need the second feature. Any comment is welcomed :-) Stefan and all, FYI: http://svk.bestpractical.com/ SVK is a front-end program for subversion which provides local mirror of any svn repositories. You can commit or query log without network connectivity using SVK local repository mirrors. I think it is very useful for the users who can use such a not-user-friendly tool :-) (In fact, I've never use I'm afraid of loss of data...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
