Re: storage of documents

[Jo Baer <jbaer -at- mailbox1 -dot- tcfbank -dot- com>]

We keep only the sign-off sheets in a file. One copy of the paper document is
placed in a central library (unless the material is considered too sensitive to
have in an unsecured area.) Electronic documents are placed on our Intranet,
with or without password protection. Sensitive documents aren't published on the
Intranet. Sign-out typically consists of an email or spoken message like "Hey,
I'm working on 8.3 in the BRM, everyone leave it alone please." Seriously. It's
a small department.
