Some of you might find this approach interesting, mainly if you''re doing some kind of remote or off-shore development. So here are some thoughts about it: http://dema.ruby.com.br/articles/2005/05/01/celebrity-development One of the great things that I din''t mention in the post, is that being web-based and having all those wonderful Rails logs available, it''s pretty neat to be able to come up to your customer and say: ''Thanks for that bug you''ve found while you''re testing the product. We already fixed that.'' And that''s even before hearing the complaint or seeing it in the ticket system. ;-) rgds Dema
