Hi Mathias,

Possibly we can establish a process that allows for more "asynchronous"
work or creates the documentation in a "Q&A" style (QA or documentation
ask for the information they need instead of forcing the developers to
provide everything upfront).

As some of us have desribed in a presentation [1] (slide 12+ is the i-Team work described -> How to write a specification) held on OOoCon [2] the i-Team should work together on the specification because they are the stakeholder for the document.

If there are information included in a specification which is not needed by

- developer (also developer who will work afterwards with the
  implementation!)
- tester
- documentation people

then it makes no sense in the document.

I hear "lightweight" specification document from many people but mostly I thnk you mean "lightweight specification PROCESS" because in the doucment there should be no information which is not helpful for DEV, QA, DOC!

The specification process [3] and issue handling [4] only has been written down and not being changed. If there are intersted people in doing it -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be your right place. We want to do it and it should match the needs of DEV, QA, DOC - surely! :-)

Have fun,
Jogi
