Hi Kolja, I am close to finishing my work on adding subversion functionality to Jabref. The code uses SVNkit - a pure java subversion client API. As soon as I am done I plan to provide a new patch (a first patch is already available). Hopefully, Morten will integrate my code into the main development branch. But I noticed recently, that Jabref also has some nice collaboration functionality. It senses for external changes and reports differences to the user. For small groups this may be sufficient.
