Scanning the recent issue of the MAPS (Dutch NTG user group magazine) I encountered the interesting article about experiences with the development of luatex and friends. Especially the possibility of having protocols http:// and file:// as input source seems promising. Allow me to suggest another opportunity here: the inclusion of svn:// as a source. I myself store my important tex and metapost sources in a svn repository in order to keep track of versions and branches in an efficient manner. Others might want to do the same. It therefore would be nice if tex typesetting could directly access those repositories through the svn:// protocol too. Maybe Taco and Hans feel challenged....
