It was only partly a joke. Version control is very handy, and since
we've been mapping most everying else in this group onto a newslike
paradigm via backends, it seemed a natural idea.

One approach that comes to mind is that you could open a VC file as a
group, and each article would be one version, threaded to show version
branches. The "Date:" header would be the checkin date, perhaps with
the log data in a "Comment:" header.
I use RCS myself, so I'm thinking of this in more of a single file
paradigm. Someone who uses CVS may be able to extend it to deal with
multifile projects. Perhaps a thread for each file...
Brian.
