Over the long term, some IP's will benefit from having a record of who changed what and when, and from being able to bring up older versions of material. I expect people will develop systems better suited to the WWW than RCS, but a) CCN should attempt to keep the existing RCS version control alive, and b) should include information on version control in IP training so that IP's are at least aware of the capability even if the current implementation is not well suited to the WWW. -- George White <aa056@chebucto.ns.ca> Halifax, Nova Scotia
