[Insight-developers] Creating a Draft directory for Code

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi,

I would like to propose to add a Draft directory for
Code in the repository, may be something like

              Insight/Code/Draft

That will allow us to share code that is in gestation,
not ready to be in the Common directory yet,
but for which the input of the group is important.

Our current strategy is to send poorly typed pseudo
code in mails, or pieces of code as attachments...
which after two iterations of replies became like
trying to do by hand what cvs already do nicely.

This directory could be out of the building process
to avoid breaking the nightly builds.

In this way, code that is just evolving from a rough
design could be in "public display" to be criticized
and eventually improved, avoiding the friction caused
by checkins that are perceived as "sudden".

Risky modifications of classes that are already in the 
Common directory could be tried in the Draft too. So
we could make tentative experiments (again in public)
without breaking other people's projects.


Thanks


Luis
