OK , you learn something everyday :) But how intellegent is this? Or does a paper clip "notify" you?

jhaga wrote: If we split up, nowbody will then be interested in what we do I disagree. I think having focused teams will be better. If we all work on a single project it makes things more difficult to manage. Also, are you going to work on a project you really have no passion for if you not being paid to do it? Splitting us up will actually help because you will work on the project that you really like. We all use the same technologies, but as a whole, we have a very broad range of what we apply those too. Yet somehow we have all come here to share our ideas. So with different ideas I don't see us losing interest.
I just worry that we will end up with projects were only 1 or 2 people are really doing something. If we have 40 people on one project then maybe 20 does something and 10 works intensively.(Taking in count that most of us have a work or study) With more people there will always be something happening, and we can daily follow the progress in the lounge. Anybody who has ever been in a SourceForge project, knows that it is not fun when nothing happens in months. jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

I would like to see some development in the WTL area. It would be nice to see some of the controls like Chris Maunder's Grid control ported to WTL. WTL is a powerful library but there is a lot you give up when choosing to move to WTL. Also I would like to see some one develop a doc / view framework for WTL. John

I have a license for VSS but I still use CVS because of several reasons. CVS is way more widely used. CVS can be used in a remote environment. CVS is free. John

A code snippet library sharing app and service, thing. Naturally with a Visual Studio add-in. There are a lot of them out there but after having spent a week downloading and testing most of them the common problem is they are nice but hardcore programmers will hate them. You know, the command line type of guy. Most of them are a pain to setup and have a bunch of features that hardcore okes will never use. It needs to be something really slick, something focused and direct that works like a hardcore chap expects it to.

A project management system. Phase tracking, bugs, document storage, client feedback area etc. Not a source control system, but a system for the management of a project that both managers/clients and the developers are happy with. We all bitch about management of projects, so lets do something about it for once.

Also for the project in general, especially the first time out, I would like to say; Think small, think focused, think useful. An operating system, a game? Come on guys, we know how that will go, it won't. We need something that will do one or two things very, very well. Something that can start small, a foundation layer, be released, see results and then can be extended as needed. It must be attainable. Management of this is going to be a nightmare. People get bored, go on holiday, disagree, fail to deliver or just disapear. Splinter groups will form. So if we do something small and focused the first time it sets a good precedent for later, larger projects. Lets rather get our internals working before we try and fix the world

It's not intelligent at all, but it works perfectly when sharing files between projects :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

I was really hoping for the paperclip though! "It looks like you are attempting to write some code that failed a few weeks ago. Click yes to replace with working code or No to continue making the same mistake again." :)

Well, there's the new RSS feed plus some existing (OK, using cookies I guess), message monitors. John Fisher wrote: This same program would also have a CodeProject-specific chat client built-in. On the humorous side, I already spend too much time reading the messages and replying to them. I'd NEVER get anything done with a live chat system. Plus I guess a lot of people already use existing chat technologies. John Fisher wrote: It could also use a sophisticated article submission handler to ensure good formatting I typically write everything in FrontPage and do the final touch up in the editor that CP already has, which is really cool. That way, I don't mind if the browser crashes. Hope you don't mind the feedback--it would be interesting to further develop these ideas so we're not duplicating existing work. Marc Help!

Microsoft deliberately adds arbitrary layers of complexity to make it difficult to deliver Windows features on non-Windows platforms--Microsoft's "Halloween files"Thanks for the comments. I was basically throwing out ideas to spur thought, with the goal of a single app (or very closely related group of apps) that would be CP specific. Right now, we can do most of these things, but they're disjointed and not all of them are as powerful as they could be with an locally hosted application (client). If anyone has other ideas for adding to this "suite" concept, just think along the lines of what everyone likes to already do at CP, but make it easier. John

I agree 100%. We tend to believe that the more bodies we throw at a project, the faster it will get done. In fact, it turns out to be the opposite. That's why I'd like to see us work on more than one project, maybe even the top 5. With about 10 developers each.

How about we just split into coding units, so different teams focus on different sectors of the project?? Would this work?**

Basic application framework with support for: :rose: Addins - the kind of addin can be as powerful as the original application :rose: Commands - self-runnable commands that can be invoked by menus, toolbars, or code :rose: Properties - A framework for easily reading and writing properties - including an interface for persisting any class to XML. :rose: Messages - a system for outputting messages that abstracts the message from the output method, so that the same message can be outputted to a message box, a statusbar, a log file, an MS Agent character, etc. :rose: Services - everything that performs an action for another object is a service. There can be services such as help, file IO, etc.

I don't know about YOUR software, but MY software doesn't have defects! Just kidding. I was perusing the web a few months ago and found some online defect tracking software, some of it was free, some of it had a trial period, etc. Some of them looked pretty cool. Marc Help!
