<bruce>how the writing of documentation can be compared to the writing of software, in which case, versioning models make a lot of sense</bruce>
Once we start COLLABORATING on documentation, we need some way to ensure that contributed efforts can be reasonably re-used in forthcoming updates, otherwise most people will prefer to stick with their own monographs.
Of course, revision control with text is not as simple as line-wise cvs diffs in software versioning. But who should try and learn how to collaborate on shared documents if not the promoters of a collaborative system?
