My first wiki attempt - basicly I was reading the Revision Control entry and came across the red link so figured I would get my feet wet, I have nothing to do with the product and all information was from the company's website.

Constructive feedback appreciated User:Doctus


Good stuff - keep contributing :) As a Perforce user, I've added some comments that probably wouldn't appear on the company website. IMHO, Perforce is a dinosaur, kept alive only by skilful targetted marketing. Although it offers lots of features, the core functionality is lousy. Subversion is a far better technical system (and free). CVS probably offers the best mix of solid functionality and good support (GUIs for all platforms, off-the-shelf web-site publishing, an excellent integrated client in the altogether excellent [Eclipse|http://www.eclipse.org] IDE, etc.).

"IMHO" is the key word there. Wikipedia is not the place for our opinions, humble or otherwise. I happen to adore Perforce, but I can't rave about it here, either. If you want to critique Perforce, the best way to do it is to find an article on a major site such as CNET that supports your claims, and link to it. Opinions -- or original research that proves Perforce inadequate -- don't belong here. Deborah-jl Talk 23:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Point taken. But that goes both ways. This page reads like advertising copy, so I'm going to tone it down a little, make it neutral.
Regarding your opinion of Perforce being a dinosaur, if you can quantify how it is lousy in comparison to other SCM systems, it may be genuinely useful content for the Comparison of revision control software page. --212.159.69.172 17:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
