Wiki Change

I’ve been experimenting again… and have moved the Wiki over to the TikiWiki package. On the basis of a few days experimentation this package looks incredibly powerful.

Continuing to work through Lean Software Development by Mary & Tom Poppendieck. *Chapter 3 – Decide As Late As Possible* Concurrent development – the importance of both knowledge and collaboration. Cost escalation curves for changes – the old “exponential” model for increasing cost of late change really only applies to critical constraints (e.g. major technical architecture decisions) Use “breadth first” approach for the major constraints – for other aspects defer decision as long as possible through iterative development

Cothrel on Communities

“Cothrel on Communities”:https://www.onlinecommunityreport.com/features/cothrel2 Joseph Cothrel says the many want to talk to the few, but the few only want to talk among themselves. I think that’s one thing that blogs manage very nicely, enabling interaction at a very high level among the few, without shutting out the ability of the many to read and even comment. [via Lilia]
