Someone recently made a cool proposal for utilizing diffs to save space taken by old versions in the Zope object database:

To make this work, we need a good way of diffing pickles.

I thought maybe someone here would have some good suggestions. I do think that the topic is sort of interesting (for some definition of "interesting" ;).

The page above is a Wiki page. (Wiki is awesome. If you haven't seen it before, check out http://joyful.com/zwiki/ZWiki.) If you are a member of zope.org, you can edit the page directly, which would be fine with me. :)
