Yes,
checking in documents related to product development (you can define that as
loosely as you want) is a good idea.
Also
consider a few UI enhancements:
1. use
p4web in browser mode or some other p4 web interface to allow people to
embed a URL directly to a file in Perforce into any document / intranet
web-page.
will
bring up the latest (#head) revision of the doc in realtime from Perforce
server. People love this ability once they are exposed to
it.
2. Consider running p4ftpd to allow non-technical users to
simply use Windows Explorer to check-out and check-in files in Perforce -
perhaps restrict this access to certain areas where non-source-code stuff is
kept.
3.
Consider some of the Office diff tools which can diff word, excel, etc. files.
Most are not very good but you might actually gain some ability to see who
changed what in these binary files.
Disk
drives are cheap. It shouldn't be the reason for keeping people out of
Perforce.
Sorry,
I can't think of very good reasons to keep most of these things out of Perforce
unless you have better systems for record keeping and document
management.
