Any I am not sure that this is true for a vc-friendly solution, since
the user must have some rudiment knowledge of vc.
Hi Uwe,
I certainly agree with your thoughts on what normal users care about.
However, a VCS can really improve the quality of the process. I think a
useful trick could be to combine a VCS with (possibly enforced)
conventions on how to use it. That might make it easy enough for "normal"
users.
I think an Abiword solution would attract quite some people...
I would certainly like it for some use cases, but I think it's really
important to be clear on what these are. What's the use case(s)[*] you are
thinking of?

PS. Btw, defining use cases clearly and concisely can be a great help.
That's one way non-programmers can really help. Hmm... maybe I should
implement something on the wiki that makes it easier to document use
cases...
