TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Subversion here and it works like a charm, we use Tortoise to get and commit
files, and with a little tweaking you can make sure that files are locked
and uneditable (they appear read only to other users, and FM flags them as
such).
As for WHY we use Subversion... Well I don't know as it was already here
when I arrived.

We've been using Visual Source Safe over here, cos its easily available and
works nicely with the developers as well.

Subject: versioning software
Hi list,
We want to install a document versioning system to store FM8 books and
files. My manager is strongly recommending CVS, but having looked through
the archives here, it seems that Subversion might be a better bet. Has
anyone anything new to add to this debate to help me convince him? Or any
other recommendations for a system we can use? As I'm the sole writer here,
normally I should be the only one accessing files, but PMs might need to
pull them out from time to time. We're Windows-based.
