Hello there,

I will gladly take help for this. Feel free to ask questions, i'll try to 
answer them the best I can.

I am currently looking in fixing tracking bugs in the KoTextEditor (like 
delete, ...).
There is already some loading/saving code in, albeit not quite finished. I 
haven't touched this area for quite a while because the KoTextEditor took 
priority.
Then, the visualisation of the changes is more a proof of concept than 
anything else. There is quite some work to do on this front.

Pierre
