Transparent to who ?

I would definetly say each developer should have their own CF instance, and possibly DB in the early stages where DB changes are likely to break lots of code. Look at something called Scrum:- see the bottom of http://www.controlchaos.com/old-site/rules.htm and also http://www.controlchaos.com/about/ This stops people from drifting too far apart, amongest other benefits We also have a convention that if you touch a shared component, you email the rest of the dev. team and they can update from SVN when they are ready. If you can get a continuous integration (automated nightly build and check) system up and running, so much the better - you can quickly ID if anyones checks have broken the build. -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
