Microversioning in Google Docs



"How I Reverse Engineered Google Docs To Play Back Any Documentâs
Keystrokes"

http://features.jsomers.net/how-i-reverse-engineered-google-docs/

"If youâve ever typed anything into a Google Doc, you can now play it
back as if it were a movie â like traveling through time to look over
your own shoulder as you write.

This is possible because every document written in Google Docs since
about May 2010 has a revision history that tracks every change, by every
user, with timestamps accurate to the microsecond; these histories are
available to anyone with âEditâ permissions; and I have written a piece
of software that can find, decode, and rebuild the history for any given
document."

Cheers,
	Andrew
