TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If today I wanted to use a version control system and were working
with Windows workstations, I would much rather employ Subversion as
the version control repository, and TurtleSVN as the Windows interface
to it. TurtleSVN integrates well with Windows Explorer, making
checkout and commit a right-click action.
In fact, that is what I have on my Windows box now for much of my own work.
Subversion will run on a Windows box, a Linux box, or other UNIX
variants or even on OS/400.
There are related projects, too, that include issue tracking (Scarab);
Of course, you'd have to put up with not paying anything for any of this...
