Coding before the problem is well understood is the worst of all possible solutions... specifically in many ways thats how to the port system got into such a bad state.... the idea is to get a good idea of what is wrong before we fix it... I have plenty ideas but am purposefully not stating them so as not to color responses to the survey.... basically the idea is start assume that we know nothing and gather data without passing judgment and refine stuff based on what we find until there is a set of features and perhaps even a roughed out framework that we can be agreed on by the large majority of people... *ONLY* then can we start to examine what kind of code is even needed. - -- Aryeh M.
