I didn't read all the way back through the thread, but why is it important that they use each others code in the first place? Obviously code reuse is a good thing, but you never explained why it was important for you. In most places...if the boss says, use this code, it should to be used, and if not, the problem doesn't have anything to do with code.
Do these developers even know what components are available? Are these components/extensions organized into a coherent API and documented centrally? If you answered no to either of these questions, then the problem is clear. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, August 4, 2003, 9:57:20 AM, you wrote: <snip> BJS> So forget about my scattered scenario and emphasis on databases: just BJS> consider this question: How could you set up a server architecture BJS> (whether internally via security sandboxes or externally via web service BJS> syndication servers) that would encourage a development culture whose BJS> members were free to develop however whatever they wanted, but faced BJS> strong incentives to first utilize each others' reusable code? <snip> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
