I cannot see anything but problems from using this.
- The current usage allows people to work on documents as files, using
whatever editing tools they like. With your "server software," that
is lost.
- Current usage uses CVS to manage changes. This allows changes to be
looked at and approved/rejected/modified. I haven't any idea if
your system uses text files in behind, it sounds like not.
- Current usage does not mandate that anyone have a synchronous
connection to a central server that becomes bottleneck / vulnerable
point.
The apparent "benefit" of your tool is that it provides a tool with a
user interface that slavishly follows the Windows "CHM file" viewer.
That may be an advantage to those that want to slavishly follow
Windows development/deployment "standards," but I daresay you're NOT
in a community that is particularly interested in that sort of thing.
