Yeah that would totally make sense. There is quite a lot to work with in the OpenXML library (as PP documents are essentially just XML in a zip file). If you could segregate regions of a slide and delegate ownership that could be a reality; I guess the UX problem is having different behavior from similar actions (I.e., how do I know when it's going to merge or if I have to do it myself?). We were thinking the best way would be some document-based version of a 3-way-diff (TortoiseHG have a good one on windows). Regarding the PP COM API, you want to stay away from it as much as possible and stick to proprietary XML serialization..! Cheers for your feedback, and ping me an email whenever: leo@kivo.com
