Re: [school-discuss] CVS vs wiki for book collaberation


Cool.  Do you mean that you can check out the whole wiki or part of it
with the CVS client, work on it with an editor, then merge changes
back into the repository with the CVS client?  Or does it use CVS as a
backend, but still does extra bookkeeping that would make accessing
the CVS not work?
I don't know about TinyWiki, but if this is your use case, then I'm not sure you want a Wiki in the first place. Looks like what you want is ViewCVS..

Or, why don't you use a flat-file Wiki, which doesn't do any versioning, and run a script to check the files into CVS every so often. THen you can have the wiki files in CVS any structure you like..

Seams like there's a difference of opinion regarding the meaning of the word "use". :)
