Thanks. About implementation my idea is to start with a different approach.
The idea is to "teach fossil to Leo" and having in that way a default
support for versioning and collab in Leo, so the convention for working
together in a collaborative p2p fashion that I showed would be automatically
supported by Leo + Fossil. Adding an external file to Leo would add it to
the Fossil repo and all the commands for working with Fossil would be
supported inside Leo and so on. Then I will try to deconstruct the Leo data
structure, if this is needed, so it can be supported by the NoSQL database
or the DAG of Fossil. So the idea is to have a particular implementation of
collaboration + versioning that may be abstracted later to work with more
approaches.
But if there was a database representation of the Leo document
already, with code for saving that plus putting it back into Leo,
wouldn't that give you the information and/or understanding you need
to demonstrate your approach? Including seeing where in the code to
teach Leo? My impression is the only thing that keeps people from
going ahead with what you propose, or demo'ing any approach at all, is
uncertainty about having an adequate model that works with Leo's
intricacies.

Well my approach is that deconstructing textual computer interaction
requires to think in two axes: one of structure in space (Leo outlines
are this) and one of structure in time (DVCS/SCM, specially Fossil are
this). So using my strategy will demonstrate my approach and will have
the advantage of solving a day to day problem in the way that my team
and I work and at the same time could evolve in a more abstract solution
as you propose where Leo DOM could be mapped to database vía DAG or Sea
of nodes in a NoSQL database. Living in the Global South ("Developing
Countries" as called by someones) and working with digital technology is
about developing this kind of strategies that deal with the day to day
problems at first, at the same time that envision some abstract
structure. Is about "acting contextually but thinking systemically".
Cheers,
Offray
