Hi,I think one thing we should write an article about is the new diff mechanism. The idea is terribly simple (even if the implementation needs some careful work in order to be really robust), yet I don't know of it being used elsewhere (does someone else here?)-- and it is quite interesting, because it marries the permanence and security (if not completely the robustness) of Storm with the efficiency of storing diffs, storing backward diffs, and transmitting only the current version (when downloading the current version of something from the 'net).
