Another point. Since PDF are generated files you probably shouldn't put them into version control but put the original file instead (latex, whatever ...) Also at list with cvs use the binary flag for binary formats. As for word documents, I think word has the ability to do some internal version control in the file (a very limited rcs) although that really bloats the file and I wouldn't trust microsoft with anything important. > > > >I'm not sure it answers all you requests. > > > >You may also want to check this: http://horde.org/chora/ > > > >Regards, > > > >Lior Kaplan > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >http://www.Guides.co.il > > > >Come to write at the forums: http://www.guides.co.il/forums > > > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Gil Freund" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "Yishay Mor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Linux-IL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 10:25 PM > >Subject: Re: Document managment and workflow > > > > > > > >>Yishay Mor wrote: > >> > >> > >>>wow. not that I have any ideas (other than CVS), but just out of > >>>curiosity, what is this for? > >> > >>CVS would be nice if I could get people to use normal editors with > >>normal formats (read *ML) > >> > >>Mainly for myself, and some startups I work with. > >> > >> > >>>If you don't find anything existing, I would consider developing it over > >>>Zope / Plone. > >> > >>Thats content management.
