Claiming that a team is dysfunctional because they don't ask each other every single time they want to edit a file is ridiculous! If developers are being productive, working through bugbase issues, they're going to be touching a lot of files in the course of a day. Having them physically ask everyone for every single file is just silly! All that noise and that many interruptions?? Your "hey bob" idea would only work for a very small number of developers who all sit in one room, close enough to each other that they could overhear everything that is said. And assumes that if they're deeply involved trying to figure out a bug, they don't mind someone interrrupting them every few minutes asking if they're editing some file... -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
