FWIW, Subversion is working quite well for us in a Corporate Intranet. Blending modules for content management (that can be edited in WYSIWYG form, either in-situ or in off-line modes) and others for code make it a very compelling replacement for CVS at the project level, and Wikis at the 'easy' collaborative docs level. The name/password stuff works well, though we make life difficult for ourselves by throwing SecurIDs into the design too.
In a couple of years time, using SVN as an all-encompassing CM & RCS tool will be a common story, if not a best practice. - Paul --- Greg Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One of the previous concerns was tool support.
