Hi All
 
pictures say a thousand words :-), does anyone agree that it would be a really good idea to have application designs in CVS?  Documentation is often not enough - need pictures!  Things like process flows can't be adequately describe and the effort is usually not put in.  I think a complete set of docs for any app would be user guide (a couple of examples may suffice), cloud design (uml entity diagram - input to uml2mmbase possibly), javadocs and a process flow diagram.
 
The main thing for me is that the diagrams could be agreed before any coding begun - it's a great way to gather input an suggestions outside of a long-winded discussion.
 
Does anyone have suggestions on what design tools to use to facilitate this - if anyone/everyone agrees.  I use visio for process diags and poseidon for the ERD stuff.
 
-Emile
