can u help me?

can anyone help me with my homework?

Here is some information about my homework.


Revision Control in Multiuser Settings:
---------------------------------------

We have seen some facilities of OpenOffice Writer for tracking changes.
These features are useful when a document is circulated for
contributions but control of merging changes is on one person.

When multiple users work on same document simultaneously, a more
comprehensive system is needed. We need to:
* Track and record changes to documents
* Go back to certain revisons when necessary
* Prevent conflicting updates to occur (i.e. when two users make
independent revisions)

Revision control systems help resolving such problems for a productive
workflow in multiuser work environments. GNU RCS (Revision Control
System) is one such system.

To learn more about RCS, see manualpage "rcsintro". It provides
detailed introduction to capabilities and usage of RCS. In addition you
should check man pages for commands "rcs", "ci", "co", "rlog", and
others referenced in these man pages if necessary.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT #07:
------------------------
You must work in teams of two or more people for this project to create
HTML pages with short introductory paragraphs for ACM(Association for
Computing Machinery) publications. These publications can be accessed
from the electronic journal library via university library's main page.

One person in every team must create an RCS directory in his/her home,
allow the group to write to it, and add his/her teammates to access
list. He/She will also create a template HTML page which includes (1)an
RCS "Id" tag, (2)names&numbers of people in the group, and (3)an empty
unordered list. Others in the group will pick a
journal/transaction/magazine or a publication by ACM affiliated
organization, and produce a one paragraph about the publication, adding
his/her paragraph as a list item to the HTML page using RCS check-out,
check-in and locking facilities.

The team coordinators must submit (1)full path to RCS directory, (2)the
log of RCS operationsc
