Hi Kees

I do use it, so great - but was looking for agreement on using it (or any
other suggested tool/format) specifically for diagrams to be part of the
development process and included in applications or in a specific area of
CVS on their own.

Process flow diagrams are very often the most useful diagrams as they show
specific component/object and user interactions which could take days/weeks
to reverse-engineer from code - which I've had to do on more than one
occasion.  So including these will not only be useful, but can also reduce
the documentation requirement I feel.

An ERD library would be extremely useful when looking for a basis for one's
new application and not wanting to start from scratch.  It may also
precipitate the expanded development of uml2mmbase - because that would
potentially be the starting point for a new development.  We may see the
rise of new variants that include the generation of client-side javascript
(validation/business rules,etc), gui front-ends for the build.xml and the
like.  Even the expansion of it's use beyond editors and lists.

Regards
Emile
