Is the bandwidth used when editing existing books even noticeable compared to all the other bandwidth consumption? What will be significantly more automated about the posting process because of VCS? What users are benefitted, how?
Its very noticeable if, after a one comma fix, you have to upload a zip file containing all formats and all pictures or just a one line diff that hg will apply automatically. And God forbid if you work on a mobile link.
This is going to be a lot easier to understand if you can tell us what measurable difference someone willl experience when you're done. So far we just see the painful parts.
If you already worked with VCS, and still you cannot imagine how a VCS can improve the current workflow, then nothing I can tell you can make you see. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
