[WikiToLearn] Diff-aware bot for latex importation

[Dario Mapelli]

Stupid idea from a newbie:
1) import a latex file and create a course (even with multiple pages)
2) edit some of them
3) import an updated version of the latex and create a new course
4) use something like diff to compare the version online and the new imported version of each page, and let the importer chose whether to keep or discard the changes. And maybe also notify the one who made the discarded changes, so that there is a "double check".

Maybe this is a nonsense, but i think it is a starting point!
