Submission + - Version Control for Writers? (nocategories.net)
dylan_k writes: I'm interested in using version control software to help writers, editors, publishers, scholars and archivists. In my efforts to figure this out, I've been introduced to Git, and to Flashbake, and to Git-Annex Assistant. These powerful tools are great! Because I'm a web developer in my day job, I'm sure I'll be able to learn them quickly enough and put them to work. The trouble is, most of the people I work on writing with are not so skilled with computers. They may not want to use the command line, and they probably prefer a word processor over a text editor. Since most of this stuff is open source, I'm looking for ways to make these tools a little more user friendly, for the average writer, editor, etc.
Here is a link to a blog post where I detailed some of my early thoughts on the subject.
I would be grateful for any thoughts, comments, advice, etc. that any of you might be able to provide.
