Hi, :-) My *personal* view of the basic principles of a versioning system for English documentation would be this:
1) The versioning system should be totally independent of Alfresco's versioning, and should be maintained manually by the English docs team, and based on the status of a document as considerered by the working contributors. That way, the system is properly portable to any working environment. 2) The reference version of English documentation should be stored on the English docs team's working environment - Alfresco, or whatever other system the team chooses to use. 3) The document's meta data seems to me to be the logical place to store the versioning info. You get genuine portability and are not tied to any particular working environment. Plus, you're not tied to carefully preserving OS file names in order to preserve the versioning information. 4) The principles and rules of the versioning system should be explained on the wiki, but the English docs team should non be tied to maintaining records of versions on the wiki. All that could be done in an automated manner via Alfresco, and made publically consultable on a login-free web page. 5) We should try and devise a system that is as easy to understand and apply as possible - especially by people without a degree in mathematics. :-D That would be my own 2 cents. What do people think about all that? And what specific information items would we need to track?
