    Greetings!
    
    It is admittedly an alpha version but after our discussion this morning 
    on the call about tracking changes I thought I should mention:
    
    > First alpha version of ODFSVN released
    >
    > ODFSVN is a toolset that allows you to work and collaborate on ODF
    > documents in a subversion repository, i.e. under strict version control.
    > ODFSVN is developed in Python as an application independent tool by
    > Wichert Akkerman and Ed Holness (of OOoSVN fame) under a grant from
    > NLnet foundation. ODFSVN will ultimately allow you to use all features
    > of a version control system in your day-to-day workflow: all changes are
    > archived along with change notes, making it possible to roll back to
    > previous versions, see who made what changes and why, etc. More
    > interestingly, it makes it possible to have multiple people sharing
    > their changes to a document through a shared repository. That means that
    > you can always see all changes from all editors, update your version to
    > the latest revision and submit your changes. No matter where you are,
    > with or without access to your email, you will always be able to share
    > your work. ODFSVN stores all repository information in the ODF metadata,
    > which means that you do not need to configure anything on your system:
    > all necessary information is already contained in the document. The
    > current alpha version provides a working, command-line interface.

    Hope everyone is having a great day!
