What I meant here, and before that, will get too offtopic at the
moment. Eventually I will have an article translated which I can
reference in a text. (For those fluent in those two languages, this is
what I mean: http://my.pages.de/convivenza.it ,
http://my.pages.de/convivenza.de )

In this case "has not been written": I'm thinking about a completely
distributed version control system, serverless, but there are issues I
do not understand at the moment and can not put my full attention
to. I have some ideas outlined, and some annoyances every system I used
so far had (namechanges for examples). This is also why I am packaging
darcs to look at pijul and so on.

This sounds interesting. Is there a demo instance somewhere?
