I'm working for a French ISP where the dev team seems to live in a kind of secret chamber. I tried 3 times to code my own tools, sharing it with collegues. I've been told to quickly remove them, even if the tools helped a lot my collegues and myself. It's a shame, they didn't look at it and we were all back to the old tools. It's just for me to show that sharing code inside a company and having the ability to work with it is not available for everyone. It's not what they do, it's the way they work that is important for me here. I don't know how your company deals with that kind of thing, mine just don't. you must read that post like : "hey, what you do here is great ! Even big companies know that !" I can post it in every open source community list, but i'm just an openBSD fan. And Misc@ seemed the most relevant to me. Sorry if it is not.
