lflux[0] is a new (open-source) journalism effort/plattform, using similar version-control for their articles in order to provide a different view on how online-journalism could work. The core idea (as far as i understand it) is to have topic-based journalism and a single, evolving main-article per topic. This article always represents the status quo and received updates/changes/additions when news happen, instead of publishing multiple event-based articles over time and relate them by means of categories, tags or else. A "timeline" will give an overview on how the article evolved (using a diffing algorithm similar to the one mentioned in TFA). So if you want to read about the current state of affairs of - say - Fukushima, you wouldn't have to search through the latest x articles to find out what's going on. You'd rather check the (singleton) "Fukushima" article and could see the chronological changes in its timeline. They have a showcase-install online [1], which covers a few topics ([2], german) and is in fact maintained and authored by participating journalists.
