Document Management

Hi,

I've been charged with setting up a community style web site where there are lots of non-technical contributors (MS Office user tech level).

We need to manage each article they write and rather than having the confusion of bouncing articles back and forth I want to set up some type of version control so we can see how each piece develops, allow them to branch off to see how a different approach on X works etc.

I was thinking of using a software version control system like CVS or Subversion to manage the files (mostly Word with embedded pictures).

Good idea? Got a better one or a recommendation?

Many thanks.

I don't think it is a good idea. You can use Subversion for branching but you have to merge the branches manually. The Words files are binary for CVS and Subversion. I would try something like wiki.
