The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CVS or SVN

Consider the following scenario: I'm in charge of an existing SQL Server database with which I'm about to initiate substantial changes. I'm going to make some of those changes myself and dole some of the work out to two ODesk subs with whom I share an SVN repository. I'm currently using the following protocol:
1. Initially, I provide a copy of the database back end and project specifications to each sub. So initially, all of us have identical objects.
2. The subs read the specs (hopefully they do so carefully) and start work on the project. Every change or addition that they make must be scripted and posted to the SVN repository.
3. All three of us are responsible for running the scripts belonging to the other members of the team to assure that our copies of the database are the same.

Then reality gets in the way:
1. Subs make changes to their copy of the database but fail to script it.
2. Subs fail to execute scripts generated by other members of the team.

As a result, I end up with three diverging copies of the database, and a herculean task of trying to figure out who owns what. I've tried periodically sending the subs a fresh copy of the back end. That presents problems of its own, but it generally helps.

Two questions:
1. I know other project leaders have been down this road. Can someone provide advice or recommend an article that address these issues?
2. I've been thinking about switching over to CVS. Do you think that CVS would work better, worse, or about the same as SVN?
