Some of my colleagues like to use Word and Excel documents for all communication. There is very little chance of changing that. The major frustration is when multiple people need to edit the documents and there are many versions "floating" around - its a nightmare. Normally I would recommend Google docs or Dropbox but I work at a very large financial organization and there is no way they will let anything sit on servers outside their direct control. So I'm looking to set something up on one of my servers, hopefully something open source that supports at least:
- Document access control
- Locking
- Versioning
- Comments on documents
- Cross platform Mac/Windows/Linux
But I've never done this before so I was wondering if anyone out there had a good solution we can deploy behind the firewall.
I'm afraid not. Many of us are on Mac or Linux. – Ramon – 2012-07-14T14:11:13.913
Then, SVN. Actually, ANY version control systems is fine, but Alfresco, is probably one fine option. – Peter – 2012-07-14T15:22:17.867
SVN/Git/etc are OK for IT-savvy users, but most office workers will be better off using Alfresco. – Nicolas Raoul – 2013-05-29T08:33:30.857
