I fully believe you've been there and done that, but have you ever turned around a team that is currently not doing that? You need to be able to change the culture and move up the CMM levels without losing the services of key individuals who know the existing code very well. It's like the man who, when asked for directions to get to the local pub, replied, "If I were you, I wouldn't start from here!" pippin;494926 Wrote: > > Plus look at all the time that is being wasted on the 3rd party > developer side because each and every plugin has to be rewritten for > each and every release.

I know. But to get a grip on this may take some brave moves in terms of hiring, and changing the way people do their jobs, that probably seem too costly or risky right now. In the meantime, management will only be screaming for a sufficiently stable release to allow the Touch to ship. Who under these conditions will be brave enough to try to "fix software development processes?" -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72512 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
