Subversion is cool for versioning files, but normal, non-developing
users who use it mainly for versioning of Office documents sometimes
miss a little bit comfort. The aim of this project is to make the usage
of Subversion more "natural" for Office users.
Currently planned scope of this project
- Initialy develop a set of Microsoft Office 2003 Templates which share a common look and feel
- Enlarge the scope to support Office XP and OOo 2.x
Features to be included initialy
- Common toolbar with icons derived from TortoiseSVN
- "Auto Lock Check" with indication in the toolbar
- Lock toolbar button
- Unlock toolbar button
- "Save and Commit" toolbar button
Assumptions
- Usage of SVN binaries for lock checking and (un-)locking
-
If available on the system, usage of TortoiseSVN for commits
- Implementation as VBA modules for highest compatibility between different MS Office versions
- No usage of .Net and no implementation as AddIn, since this is hard to port to other versions
