Yes, checking in and out from svn or even from other forms of version controll (sql database, wiki, emacs or what ever) and getting the difference in the document = really great But manually choosing a document to diff against = really great feature that is also needed! > I've been authoring technical documents for twenty years now and > that this functionality is an absolute "must" für efficient > collaborative document authoring was perfectly obvious to me from the > very first day when I saw what revision control systems are and how > they are used by software developers. I hear that you have not written buissnes contracts, commenting student papers, etc. Not all writers are friends and sometimes you really need to have only one copy that is sent back and forth.
