wow. not that I have any ideas (other than CVS), but just out of curiosity, what is this for?
CVS would be nice if I could get people to use normal editors with normal formats (read *ML)
Mainly for myself, and some startups I work with.
Some guys get all the right startups! All the startups I was ever involved with thought I was the doc mgmt system (as in "dude, you got a copy of that presentation we gave the board last september?")
If you don't find anything existing, I would consider developing it over Zope / Plone.
Thats content management. Different ballgame.
Not exactly. Zope is an application server for Python, is provides persistence, authentication, workflow and other such services. Plone is an web-presentation layer above it. Somewhat like JSP and EJB in the Java world. They probably provide all the services you need for a doc mgmt system, but you still need the actual "product" that does it. Not a bad idea for an OS project. I would check if someone's already thought of it.
As a Q&D alternative, I've used JSPWiki (.org). Its a wiki (surprise), very easy to customize, has several options of versioning, and handles attachments. So, I would set up a Wiki page for every tracked file, and add the actual file as an attachment. The system saves all attachments with the same name as versions, with a nice version table. Locking and workflow need to be handled by convention, e.g., edit the hosting wiki page & write the document status.
Several project management packages boast a doc mgmt facility. Haven't tried any yet:
