message: This article is meant to discuss the TeamWare revision control software published by Sun Microsystems.  Another editor pointed out that TEAMWARE is a trademark for software products produced by Teamware Group Oy.  To avoid confusion and keep this article focused on the Sun revision control software, I would like to rename this article to "Sun TeamWare".  Any objections?
:Perhaps "TeamWare (Sun Microsystems)", or "Sun WorkShop TeamWare"? -- Seitz 22:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

message: An editor recently removed any mention of Larry McVoy, claiming personal knowledge that McVoy was never a member of the TeamWare team.  This contradicts claims made on McVoy's company's web site.  For now, I've restored McVoy's claim as "the designer of TeamWare", with a reference to the BitKeeper site as a source.  I've also kept the claim that Evan Adams was the lead architect, and added a reference to a paper where Evan Adam discusses developing TeamWare.
I've started to do some more research on this issue, and it appears there is some controversy over McVoy's role in TeamWare.  I will try to follow up when time allows.  More information with references would be welcome.

replies: text: I recently had some mail exchange with Glenn Skinner and he did not mention Larry as inventor. As I plan to implement smoosh for SCCS, I may then be able to compare the mlisp implementation from Glenn and the 1998 c Implementation in Bitkeeper with the patent paper.

message: I am writing an thesis about DVCS and I am missing the date of origin of TeamWare in this article. 
Please have a look at the article about [Distributed revision control] and [Code Co-op] then compare the assertion that Code Co-op is the first DVCS to the statements you can find here about the age of TeamWare: OpenSolaris SCM Project History,  Source-code management for an open JDK  and Interview with Larry McVoy. 
As already stated in [Talk:Code Co-op] TeamWare seems to be much older than Code Co-op and therefore should be considered as the first DVCS if any. The least that could be mentioned is that TeamWare's history dates back into the 1980's.

replies: text: Thank you for the interesting pointers, you could send me a mail if you like.... BTW: NSE (Network Software Environment) existed before TeamWare. It was made available by Sun in Spring 1986 with the Sun3 Hardware line. NSE was abandoned because HP and IBM did not like to implement the translucent filesystem that was needed for NSE. Note that TeamWare was created in the late 1980s because Sun HP. IBM and others liked to collaborate for the CDE development. NSE did not implement bringover like TeamWare, but it allowed people to NFS+TFS mount the master tree and do concurrent development. NSE already allowed collaboration but need a special high level SCCS filesystem check. It seems that it was not atomic. Is there anybody who is able to supply me with NSE documentation?
