Thanks Sam,
That's good to know.
But I think the point here is that if all other tools do collaboration,
sooner or later LyX should offer something along the lines. Maybe builnding
on top of mercurial vcs (good multiplatform support, python) and sites such
as bitbucket would be a way to implement this.
It'd be nice to hear precisely what people would want that version
control does not provide. I have a hard time myself seeing why it is any
more than an "isn't that cool" feature for two people simultaneously to
edit a single document. I.e., fun, but hardly revolutionary as far as
actual productivity goes, at least for the sort of work most LyX users
actually do. There's no doubt that LyXs' VC support could be improved,
and it has been in some significant ways for 2.0, so we'd happily hear
suggestions about that, too.
