Dave: like I have discussed before.. its kool to have lots of record.. and documentation systems.. but if the people responsible aren't _actively_ involved in maintaining them.. then its quite pointless.. its the equivalent of using pin-boards.. useful for adverts.. but not alot else.
Adam: But doesnt any project ultimatly depend on the interest of those working on it?
Dave: hence my leaning towards more integrated.. interactive development environs..interest isnt the issue.. its communication...remote dev.. is _critical_ to have the best possible comm and a dev env suited for it.. while wikis are a kool idea.. and others.. they still lack that core communication interaction - like an enterprise project management system would have. My current dev for instance with ds.. is suffering heavily from this.. and we are using all sorts of paid tools to do this.. as well as some OS gear.. it concerns me.. that even the most simplest miscommunication.. or.. more to the fact.. non communication.. results in quite severe development issues.
Adam: Aye

Phil: okay, good idea i was also thinking making each paragraph a kind of block and then you attach comments to that block the para-block gives you a sensible anchor to attach the comments to
Adam: how would the pre-defined blocks be advantagious over that?... i dont get it
Phil: without bogging the margin down in a billion comment points = information overload
Adam: you would have comments grouped to paragraphs?
Phil: yes
Adam: and then the comments would refer to highlighted text but the comments themselves link to specific bits. I like it :)
Phil: 'zactly keeps it cleaner less visually overwhelming

Adam: Have a question. Is a Controller the same thing as a Model-view-controller (MVC)?
Phil: The answer, of course, is yes. That's the pattern that Rails is built on.
Adam: I best read up on MVC's then. If what I've read from wikipedia is correct, it sounds very important. The ways we present data with the Gears database will be very important is creating an efficient, fun and easy to use tools for the end user.
