Yes, I can see that being able to work on the same document can have \
advantages, but I'm not sure it should be implemented like in CVS. It would \
be far better to be able to see all the proposed changes at once (using \
colors is a possibility) and to allow someone to do the final editing, \
accepting or rejecting the changes.

As for the 'wish' itself. Consider the situation now : you get no warning \
and you can happily overwrite the work of a collegue. The 'Kate' solution. \
If I understand it correctly, you get no warning when you open a file but \
when you want to save you can still choose to overwrite, i.e. to throw away \
the changes made by someone else and all this without him knowing...Now, if \
you can only open in 'read-only' mode, at least you know that you will have \
to save under a different filename, or try to track down the guy that has \
the file open (having this info pop up could also be a feature of a \
possible solution). I can live with that.
