Re: Versioning repository for docs

[David Neeley <dbneeley -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Susan,

I would submit that the better word for the Subversion/Tortoise SVN
combo is not "horrible" but "different."

I find it superior to VSS, and have it set up now on my machine at
home so I can begin to handle various versions of the documents I
write here. In fact, I am beginning a book and will use this
combination for the various drafts of what will become (I fear!) a
rather long and involved nonfiction work.

That said, I think you may have better luck with one of the many CMS
products out there. Many of them are quite good at doc development,
and should work quite well on your company Intranet.
