I'm not sure I quite understand. If the aim is to have a system where there is an immutable record of changes to a (set of) digital objects, then any content addressable based system, e.g. Mercurial, Git, CamlStore, would do the job. Taking Git as a most familiar system, the DAG of Git affords both 'attribution' and 'timeline' datum. Can the proverbial Uncle Joe or NYT go and change commit records in Github?

Let's discuss "decentralized". (I'm on and off the net as you know but will be following up! :)]
