[Javacavemaps-developers] methodologies

[Larry G. <jav...@ya...>]

I have not researched all the various methodologies.  In my early years of coding I heard of no such thing. I though it went something like [specify][code][test][bug fix][done]   end of story. If the end users wanted something different they put up with what they had until new software could be developed under a different contract with a different set of programmers usually.

I don't have time to research the various methodologies.  But the analogy I can best use is this.  

"Lets play ball!" uh what does this mean?  Basket ball, Football, Soccer, Baseball?  Cricket? Golf? or any of many other types of ball games.  XP or agile style is a type of game. Its the one we are playing on this project.  If you don't want to play this game then hang out and be tech support or write some free form demo code in the sandbox area. (cavemaps.casetest.sf_id.case1  case2 case3 etc.)

Everything is appreciated yet noting is expected (except communication) which can be "I don't have time to send another email for the next few months or year" In which case we can mark your developer record in developers.xml to be inactive showing the best guess time for when you might be active again.

Thanks
