I see it differently but I think that is a function of my environment as a
(former) Software Configuration Manager.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Configuration_Management

"SCM concerns itself with answering the question "Somebody did something,
how can one reproduce it?""

as apposed to simple version control. As Olin stated the abbreviation it is
not standardised (nor is the spelling of standardised) but I am curios how
many think of CM as Configuration Management so SCM follows.  I do get hung
up on these things but I like to get them sorted so in conversation there is
nil ambiguity as the two interpretations appear different.  IE
Software_Configuration_Management (SCM) employs Source Control Management
(SCM).  Hmmm

Our company has produced a standard format for different software
languages.  I will review it and see if it adds any value here.

Cheers Justin
