Based on previous feedback Ive tried to revise my description and expand my thoughts somewhat regarding "stewardship" and individual-vs-collective ownership. ...
... Thanks Pete! Can you say more about how|where the notion of "control" seemed to be implied as part of stewardship in either of the two descriptions? Was...

My last post in this group started a fire storm of a couple hundred e-mails - this may do the same... My question to you is if this were your company what...
I like "steward", at least up to a point. I think it's really important to have somebody who's responsible not just for "controlling" a given piece of code,...

Scott, Do you have any SEI references you can point to? I would definitely be interested in reading this. And I agree that over time we would likely gain...
