Steve I would cautiously say yes. To my mind there's a complex equation involving project management, team structure, parallel development, variants, ...
Hi Steve, I can't see why workspaces are a bad thing but I see situations were workspaces are not available. I would prefer to have private workspaces where ...
... Sure: 1- In a situation where large numbers of directory changes are being made. (E.g., initial java development, web site work, video game development, or...

I've seen two cases where I think I would prefer a shared workspace over private workspaces. 1) Certain technologies force you into the model of shared...
I don't know about SAP, but I can think of two other systems I worked with that could illustrate your point. 1 - The Hogan Banking System (mainframe based) had...

Hm, finally I will give in ;-) but only if someone will give a precise definition of a 'private workspace' especially considering nontrivial ones without the...
Hi all I think it would be nice if someone could start up a guidance for implementing the private workspace pattern. Sometimes it is a hard job to implement...
A great place for us to collect ideas about how to implement private workspace (and the other patterns) in special cases would be the wiki we set up for...
Hi all, I will be presenting to XP Denver (www.xpdenver.org) next Monday on the topic of "SCM for the Agile Community." It is free to the public and I ...

In projects I've worked on, we've always treated the Datamodel => DDL relationship much like the UML Model => Source Code relationship. Both the data modeling...
