We respectfully suggest that as a courtesy to existing members, people new to Extreme Programming and Agile methods might wish to review www.extremeprogramming.org, and/or www.xprogramming.com, and/or www.xp123.com, and other google-accessible sites prior to asking your questions. This will help you ask better questions and receive better assistance.

We prefer that people use their real names, but are tolerant of those who, for one reason or another, choose not to.
