Greetings,
I've just joined in on the DCMS discussion.
For a preview of the work I've been doing on delta compression, for which I will soon receive my master's degree, there is a draft available at:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/masters.ps.gz
The software described there is basically ready for release, there are just a few things holding it up. I'm interested in your feedback.
