I said this about 9 years ago to a certain documentation manager, who
ignored me of course :), documentation is not software, you are going
through a lot of pain trying to treat it like it is software, maybe we
should avoid that.

It seems like a lot of effort when you could install any old wiki or cms
and do a report on when something was last changed.

Cheers, Jeff.
