Oxygen XML Forum

Any comments on Subversion or Team Foundation Server? If a team is doing XML, XSLT and Visual Studio development, does it make sense to force everything into Team Foundation Server? Or is using the SVN Client in Oxygen a better user experience for work done inside Oxygen?

Hi,

We do not have any experience with Team Foundation Server so we cannot make a comparison between the two.
We use Subversion for all our Oxygen internal projects (including our user's manual) and it's great, it has a lot of useful features for branching, tagging, showing revision history and so on.
Here's a video demo with how we work on our user's manual using SVN:

In my opinion ANY open source version system (SVN, GIT, even the older CVS) should be better than a closed source solution because they are based on well-thought standards and have a larger user base (users who reported and contributed fixes to the libraries).
And all can be used with Oxygen because for each user the version system client creates a local working copy and Oxygen is then used to edit the resources from that local working copy.

I wrote a couple of months ago about collaboration on the Oxygen XML Blog:
