OK.
First, I don't need to accept/reject changes to documents.
Second, I'm not overly worried about ownership - initally I don't intend to include sensitive information (salary spreadsheets etc).
Third, I didn't say anything about PDF, but I take your point.
Yep. I've used this and I like it because the novice user doesn't really need to learn how to use another application. However, the problem is that you still have to use another CVS client to check files out of the repository.
I just want to keep it as simple as possible for the users so that they will actually use the system.
Yes, we could "slap an easy GUI" on CVS. However we'd probably have to support it, add new features to it over time.
Personally, I don't want to do that. I don't know the number of times I've see small hacky projects turn into internal applications that grow out of control.
The other thing about these "internal" projects is that developers never seem to have any time allocated to do this work.
No thanks!
I'm afraid it is you who is the is shithead.
Take a look at a thesarus (you do know what what is?). The word catholic means wide-ranging or general.
In this context it has absolutely nothing to do
with religion.

How are the unique id generated?
Where are the unique ids mapped to meaningful descriptions so that documents can be easily located?

Actually your comment about VMS (I loved VMS) reflects the simplicity of what I'm actually looking for.
