Quoting ted@...11...:
What happens if someone's computer crashes who has a lock on a section of the document? How do users communicate that they would like the lock?
Right. Reserved checkouts is precisely the wrong model for this.
Ultimately the design is going to have to look something like a distributed RCS (e.g. git, monotone, etc...) instead.
Also, Inkscape already provides the basic functionality, in that you can lock layers.
Those "locks" are something different; they just prevent selection with the mouse (sodipodi:sensitive) but otherwise don't prevent modification.
