This looks great, and definitely a project I will be following. Anything we can do to reduce the barrier to enable versioned documents with people who don't already know LaTeX is great for me ;-) I will try getting this up and running locally, and can't wait to see where this goes when you can hook it up to GitHub (which can now provide DOIs too).

Looking forward to open science week! Please consider contributing, and helping to make this one of the most interesting features of the year!
