I was not clear enough in the original posting. My main point is the following: Currently the programmers are developing program, and customers are playing with them. But "we" should try to bring creative customers inside the process of development. Dynamic komi might be one good early try for this approach. You write "that [DyKo] has not proved to be a very fruitful technique" but you are right only concerning the rather narrow community of programmers. (Some) creative customers have lots of time to test strange things and settings and are willing to do so, provided the programs are sufficiently "test-friendly". Concerning dynamic komi I would bet 1:1 that their findings might lead to a breakthrough. Ingo. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
