We are working on the help and support section for Beanstalk. I came across a great article that visually explains the basics of version control.
A Visual Guide to Version Control
The biggest challenge for getting people to understand the value of version control is the initial learning curve. An article like this is a great overview that we can link to within our help system. Does anyone else have any good Subversion references that we can point to in our help section? Our goal is to make the initial steps as easy as possible, such as setting up Subversion locally and choosing a Subversion client.
