This is a bit of a tangent, but anybody building a collaborative system 
that, among other things, requires version control and management would 
be well advised to consider Subversion: 
<http://subversion.tigris.org/>. This open source software has yet to 
release version 1.0 status, but it is being used as the sole 
source-code and version management tool in its own development, so it 
should be considered a viable candidate for any new development 
requiring a version management component.
