    I've come to a conclusion that the way that software get maintained, backed-up, ect. is a big problem area in computers today. How many hours do I sometimes spend searching/downloading the correct revisions of software programs/libraries/functions. Lots of times the backed up files is found all over the place(Download something on this site, then that site and so on). We need a "mother system".

    But you have heard of something like source control before?

      Revision Control, Source Control, I include all those subject in my statement. There needs to be a simpler, language independant, structured, singular way of doing these things. Its too much time consuming and unstructured. The data is scattered on servers across world.

        Probably not in this universe, unless you hire a secretary to gather together all that stuff for you.

                        In near future Google is planning to give space to save your code online. But your own project related code and documents, you have to maintain in your local server (TFS, VSS etc...), they are providing security. -- Rushi
