[Texmacs-dev] Version control and collaboration

[Peter Rapčan]

Hi everyone,

I am not sure whether this is the right place for my post, but let me  
say the following.

I recently tried a current version of Lyx and I was impressed by how  
version control works - at least on a Mac OS X system it works out of  
the box, absolutely no setup is needed. That is, if you have Xcode  
installed (again with no setup), lyx uses the version control system  
used by xcode. Could this functionality (open source code) be just  
taken from Lyx and applied easily into texmacs?

Speaking of version control, collaboration comes to my mind. I recall  
reading something on plans having a texmacs server to facilitate this.  
Does anyone has info on when this is going to happen? I have seen a  
demo on google wave technology (open-source and extensible  
collaboration) recently... and with that in mind, could one maybe use  
their technology (writing a texmacs extension for wave or, even  
better, vice versa, using wave functionality from within texmacs)?

Sorry, I am not a "real" programmer, so maybe my suggestions are naive  
and most probably you are all more informed than I am. It just seems  
to be a logical thing not to invent a wheel, but use what seems to be  
promising and evolving quickly...

Cheers,

Peter
