I still think that directing a project is very important and that there is not enough direction at the moment. However i have to admit that the project is running well, probably because there is not much potential for conflicts, as most people are working on different parts of the game. I am pretty sure though, that direction is still needed, if there are conflicting opinions (as had been the case with "slow"). Sometimes it is important to make a decision, regardless if it is the best possible or not. Otherwise we have a lot of annoying discussions with a very low output. The art of project management is to know when to end such a discussion. But i am getting off topic.
I would appreciate to have more leadership but to be honest i don't have a good alternative. We used to discuss this on irc and the most difficult thing is to find someone who is widely accepted as a authority within the team. There seems to be only one person and guess who that is? Yes, it's you, Dave. Nevertheless right now this is not a problem (not for me, that is) and i hope it stays that way. I am quite happy now since i am one of those persons that can arrange with most anything. I feel my stomach grumble a little for reasons i can not name exactly at the moment. For us coders, i still miss the "big picture". Not regarding what to code but how to make it fit into the application in order to keep the code clean, easy to understand and maintainable (the last is probably my biggest concern). I might eventually come up with a more detailed proposal about this. Greetings Jörg >There is a question I have for developers though: are we now happy with >where the project is going?
