No it doesn't. Me putting up my development code won't do anyone any good, and will proactively slow me down because I have answer questions about 'why doesn't this compile? what the f*** are you doing here? where is this function you call (that I haven't written yet)?' etc. Even ignoring those questions takes time. But it would be useful to be able to hoist a flag saying 'I am working on all things related to IMAP right now, so if you're planning to bugger around with that code, please drop me a note so we can let each other know where we're stepping on each other.' --lyndon
