Just a little post to keep you up to date on some new features in SparkleShare.
Restoring documents to previous revisions
SparkleShare now has a Nautilus extension so you can revert to earlier revisions of a document. I wrote it in Python, which wasn’t a very nice experience, so if someone could write some bindings/nautilus-mono that would be great! 
Restore to previous revisions
SparkleDiff
SparkleDiff is a tool that can be very helpful to designers. It allows you to view different revisions of a file to compare them. Previously there were only text based solutions to do this for Git. The tool relies on Git but it doesn’t have SparkleShare as a hard dependency, so it can be packaged separately if you don’t use SparkleShare but would like to use it as a visual diff tool for images that reside in a Git repository.
Compare revisions easily
Contributions
I will soon put up some bounties with the donations that the project has received to get some more contributors in. Meanwhile, I would like to thank the people that have squashed several bugs, set up a proper build system and translations (in no particular order and I hope I’m not forgetting anyone): Sandy Armstrong, Bertrand Lorentz, Łukasz Jernaś, Oleg Khlystov and Simon Pither
Translations
Also, a translation project has been set up on Transifex. So submitting translations is now much easier!
Oh, and don’t forget to follow @sparkleshare on Twitter for all the latest news!

Bounties never went well. Can’t we just blow it all on booze instead?
@Andreas, you are right, how silly of me. Free as in beer right?
Wait, C# *AND* python?
You’re just showing off now.
And you clearly hate freedom
How can I set up SparkleShare server? Do you have a how-to somewhere?
@Dieki: it works with vanilla Git repositories. There are plenty of tutorials out there on how to do it. Long term, I would like to automate this process by making a SUSE Studio appliance for this.
@iain: I do! I really need a way to do the Nautilus stuff with Mono to extend my evilness.
I bet you can write Nautilus extensions in java-gnome, you should use that.
Getting increasingly jealous that it’s not worth the hassle trying to build the dependencies on OpenSolaris :/

Or you can ask someone to help you out with Python :). By the way, I’ll start the pt-BR translations.
Thanks or the great work!
For any of you waiting for those features to hit master and be translatable please bear with me another day or so. I’m trying to find a large enough hammer to hit Hylke from here
@DeeJay1 a blow to the head with a hammer does not cure people from evilness. A silver spike or bullet through the heart mostly does the trick.
You should use Launchpad for translations,it is easier.
Those kittens look sad. See, you make kittens sad by writing in C#!
Hi there, I am so looking forward to the release of this tool! Are there any plans for putting together a version considered beta-release with installable bundles for linux/mac/windows.
Best Regards!
Following French Translations!
Gimme more food! More!
Does think this will build in a virtual machine?
Is exactly what I want, but I run windows.
Could it run in background ubuntu virtual machine, but notice file changes made on host windows?
Thanks!
