Hi there, Does anyone out there use a revision control system? We are in dire need of it, as my company has recently gone up to 3 writers (from 1) and we're afraid of overwriting work.
Our document repository is made up of standalone FM docs with linked images, FM books with linked images, and a pile of giant old Word docs that have both embedded and referenced images. These are the solutions I know a little about: * Perforce - used at my last job, since that's what the developers used. I think it has a bit of a steep learning curve for this environment, though, given that I had to save my files out as .mif before checking them in. I'm hoping for support of binary files instead. * SharePoint/TFS - we have it here. But our version of SharePoint is too old for FrameMaker to integrate. That means I can't access any linked files without checking them all out. Upgrading SharePoint is not happening any time soon. I have also read a fair number of unhappy stories on the Adobe forums about the FM/SP combination. * Subversion - a friend recently installed this at his company, and so far it looks promising. Does anyone use it? * Documentum - just had a terrible experience trying to get them to respond to a live chat. I know it's an option for integrating FM. Thoughts are greatly appreciated, as I found out today I need to have a candidate list ready by Friday. Thanks! Amy
