Any developer who doesn't already use some type of status tracking tool is such a beginner that they have probably not yet completed primary school. Clearly this is NOT the level of the CentOS devs. Also, this gets into a much deeper discussion of what is the work product of any IT person. The thing preventing you from doing more work is not how fast you can type, but working out problems. To say that keeping track of your status slows down problem solving is completely ignorant -- in fact it's the opposite since you need to sleep sometime and status tracking will help you get back up to speed faster the next day. // Brian Mathis _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
