Oh, that's the other core tenant that normal office workers need to be taught. Source/version control.
The amount of issues I've had with exchanging and modifying Excel/Word documents via email with groups of people is uncountable. Some basic understanding of version-controlled file-systems (like git or svn) with users writing actual comments on how they have modified their files would make this type of editing much, much easier.
- commieneko 16y agoSource control for office documents would be great, but git, svn, your favorite flavor goes here, are NOT suitable for general office workers. It's possible some type of shell or scripting interface could be slapped on, but it would need to be so thoroughly tested and bullet proof that you would probably be better to use a tool developed for that environment.
- kondro 16y agoI don't see why not. It isn't rocket surgery. I say, if you employ smart staff, they can learn new things and smart staff always provide more value than cheap staff.
