Or you could use Version Control software that supports concepts like
branching, and merging for parallel development.

Yup - knew that :)
..... What I meant to imply was if Percy is using VSS within a
development
environment (using the "roll-back" ideology) purely to protect his build
from external/part-time developers coming in and changing code (i.e.
breaking it) - it may be easier to implement the working build practice
of
fusebox instead. And instead of "breaking" development work and having
to
"roll-back" to previous working versions - if he developed a "working"
version of something he could re-use that code (aka fusebox).
However, implementing VSS from scratch really depends on the development
environment that Percy uses - if he already has a "dev" intranet site
(for
example) and his designers/developers are using this to build sites
within
then implementing VSS on top of that platform would mean a HUGE change
of
developmental practice, such as checking out versions of files for
either
local station development then checking them back in after working on
them,
or replacing his "dev" infra-structure with the lockable source
safe/project
scenario.
If he's thinking of using VSS in the above light, it may be better (less
money/working practice changes) to simply use a fusebox approach to
development, combined with the use of projects within studio and
back-ups of
working folders - just a suggestion anyway...
but, of course, being the lazy sod that I am I simply wrote 'instead'...
;)

Of course, you relise that fusebox is an application building
methodology,
and source safe is a way to protect you files, and therefore, 'instead'
doesn't apply ?
