Hi Peter, I'm 100% with you, keeping in mind Arved's comments however - the success of using bugzilla more will depend on the most active people paving the way.
I'm coming to the same conclusions in my commercial projects: tracking tools (we recently selected bugzilla for a major project) combined with CVS and mailing lists are very efficient for project management and "micro-planning". Open-source projects are leading the way here IMHO, showing examples of loose communities that work together very efficiently. BUT this is assuming people are willing to communicate openly and put teamwork high on their list. Another plus for bugzilla is the file attachments that stay with the discussion - can be invaluable for loosely-coupled design discussions. Digital shots of handwritten design documents (or super-clean Together ControlCenter UML diagrams ;-) would increase the "inter-brain bandwidth" a lot IMHO. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
