But I think that to get to that point, I need to get the wiki up and running. Once again I'll take your advice and apply it.Ryan Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10660610533145562386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452459818330588157.post-65317960546461988362007-12-06T12:57:00.000-05:002007-12-06T12:57:00.000-05:00Someone I admire once said that only a bad plan ad...Someone I admire once said that only a bad plan admits no change. I think you've got a great outline here and an ambitious set of requirements. How many people will be working on the project? Even if you're guessing it's usually worth breaking down requirements into more specific tasks and then trying to get a sense of how long those tasks might take so that you can produce a schedule to guide your efforts. It's definitely *possible* to do everything on the list, but my guess is that you'll need many hands to do it. The good news is that we live in an era where collaboration is relatively easy, but you would still have to recruit people an convince them to give you your time--which isn't easy. You might consider going deep on a few topics. Often, when we try to do everything we don't wind up doing anything of consequence. Looking forward to more updates!teddyb109https://www.blogger.com/profile/05801358618263956818noreply@blogger.com
