"but I'm wondering if there's something even simpler that they could use? " Simpler and for the end-user you have mindtouch (an open-source wiki ) and with control-version for all your files on the desktop.

Submission + - Version Control for the Non-Developers?

Documents are stored on a shared server in some sort of hierarchy, but there are all kinds of problems, e.g. multiple copies get saved with slightly-different names because people are afraid of overwriting the old version "just in case" and nobody can figure out which is the latest version, or which got sent out to a client, etc.

Version control should help, and my first thought was to use SVN with TortoiseSVN, but I'm wondering if there's something even simpler that they could use? Do the Slashdotteratti have any experiences or thoughts that they could share? The ideal solution would also make it easy to text search the document tree.
