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.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

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.

<p><u></u><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><u></u>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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><u></u>Subversion – a friend recently installed this at his company, and so far it looks promising. Does anyone use it?<u></u><u></u></p>
