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.
