Can anyone suggest a good, simple way of managing documents?
I need to create a system that will allow co-workers to work on each
other's project documents. The system needs to track changes, so that we
know who wrote what version, what changes they made, and which version
of a document is the most recent.
It should also allow me to restrict access to certain documents. I don't
want any busy-bodies messing with my precious user guides!
Our company uses SourceSafe for managing source code, but I've been told
that this isn't suitable for documents, some of which are quite large.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. You can reply to the
list or directly to me at criordan -at- flexicom -dot- ie -dot-
