Hello Ole-Egil
I typically forget this, so: Hi :-) I think I need to put something about lack of manners in my sig ;-) It's just that I tend to see email as a continous stream of messages, not as a formal occasion each time :-) Any email from me from this point should be considered to say "Hi" at one of the top lines :-P
So if there is an IRC session _planned well ahead_ (we could for instance say that two times each day we discuss for half an hour, most people should then be able to make it to more than half the discussions), and someone is _responsible_ for compacting the IRC logs into general ideas (for further discussion), seemingly agreed upon strategies (to be voted over in the next session) and voting results, we should get a lot more benefit from that than just random thoughts in an email.
Yep, that's why we need to get _organised_ for this first :)
I don't think we need to be organised BEFORE we do brain storming ;-)
I once again refer to the Mars Trilogy, it's one of the best books on ANY subject I've ever read :-P
I might rent it at the library some day, but not the first coming weeks, got enough at my hands already ;)
You only need to read the third one, Blue Mars. There's enough backwards references at the start of each chapter that you'll get going immediately :-P
On a completely different note (please don't reply about it here...): I'm now operational with SVN, HEAD from anoncvs.openoffice.org is checked in (need to tag the initial import of openoffice itself, though. But I can do that at any point in time since I know the revision number I need to reference).
If anyone wants to have a look and see what you CAN do with a typical SVN setup, feel free to browse around http://84.234.219.218/repos/ Send questions you might have about how it works in private emails.
It's been a useful excercise for me, as I might end up working on unix servers at work within a few months. The number of Unix gurus is slowly diminishing :-P
