Deleting everything to do with the failed board and related documents would be a good start (or, better, move them to a "do not repeat" area). > Jeez, whatever you do round here, DON'T volunteer ;-) Court martial > offence. You will be first against the wall. No! People should volunteer and they should do things. But don't volunteer others to do things. > I have to say that I think that the 'management' could do with a little > business orientated assistance for planning etc. Give the developers the > time to do what they do best. > > I still say that there should be a road map. Hsing-Foo was right. A roadmap is good but timelines are meaningless without people doing the work. This is where Hsing-Foo was quite wrong. You can't put out a release timetable without any concept of effort or available people hours. > But it's up to the developers to then say what is realistic for time frames etc. And this is likely a major issue. As far as I can tell, all of the people who put the major development work into SME7/SME8 are unable to commit significant time. I am one of those. Perhaps the first thing to do is assess how many hours people can offer. Of course that can't be guaranteed, but much of this does scale by the number of people doing things.
