Re: version control

["Lech Rzedzicki" <xchaotic -at- gmail -dot- com>]

For geographically or otherwise dispersed teams, distributed SCMs like
GIT or Mercurial do best, but SVN has a lot of tools and community
behind it and with latest 1.5 supposedly supporting merge tracking,
the differences are negligible for simple projects and I'd go with SVN
too.
SVN also has a lot of good reference and tutorial materials.

Another option for DITA topics would be to integrate within Eclipse,
if you're familiar with the environment.
