There are two issues here:
- one is the learning curve. Even with this simplified interface I
don't think me colleagues would be willing to learn version
control.
- how to submit the new version. Usually that would be done my
email then the new version is saved, loaded etc. Not a very good
solution, while a webbased solution would lock the file when
somebody is working, which I would prefer...

many people miss such a software, but once it is there...(like with
