Dear Paul, @16-May-2004, 18:35 -0400 (16-May 23:35 UK time) Paul Cartwright [PC] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Patrick:

Patrick has his opinion. That's fine. But it lacks a certain level of information about the process and management of a software development project. Consider how many programmers work on each feature. Say there are three in the team, each with areas of responsibility. One works on IMAP while another implements virtual folders and another works on HTML. RIT have four main programmers. Some features are implemented quickly and appear, therefore, to "take precedence". This is not the case. It is merely the result of different development time-scales crossing and giving the less discerning eye reason to doubt. IMAP certainly does have a very high priority but is taking a long time to get right. Would you have the other programmers sent home until it's finished? I don't think so! I can understand people becoming impatient when developments take too long and it looks like they are being sacrificed to trivialities. But I do want to point out that my understanding is different and that I believe myself to be well informed on this topic. I have nothing to discuss with regard to Patrick opinions, I just wanted to set the record straight. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.11 Beta/5 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 '
