To write code _not_ having a spec is kindergarten nonsense.

As I wrote many times, intents (if I understand them correctly) of 'pkg.m' can _not_ be implemented unless the issue of namespaces is resolved.

I even offered my help: I architect the "thing" (packaging) and you guys implement it per my spec (which we first discuss).

There _must_ be an architect - somebody, anybody, not at all necessarily me.

Regards,
  Sergei.

This is just a friendly reminder of the code sprint dedicated to
improve pkg.m to happen during the 17th and 18th of November (meeting
point, the IRC channel #octave at irc.freenode.net).

View the current lists of taks here (suggestions, commetn, potentiual
drawbacks, please let us know)

Has anybody already written a _spec_ for Octave packaging ?

If not, why to step on the same rake again, i.e. what is the sense of writing code with no set goals and no analysis that those unset yet goals do not contradict each other ?

Or you think existence of SW architects is a human race mistake and they are unnecessary ?

Regards,
  Sergei.

I am with you, Sergei.  I have been there: spec and USER doc first, then 
design,
then consider some coding.  I know this is boring and old fashioned 
and..., but I
can tell you some important software that came out right following this 
sequence.
