You can wait a bit for version 1.2 which supports file locking, so
others can't edit the files while you have them locked. Though
multiple changes to the same text file will usually merge fine. I
think the subversion book explains the benefits and drawbacks.
The subversion repository has no idea who already has a working copy
and can't *push* notifications based on that.

Is 'svn log' good enough for this? Perhaps combined with commit
emails. Or you could write a custom post-commit hook that updated some
sort of summary file for you.
