| RE: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Draft for E-Mailto Eclipse-committers |
Hi Martin,
same here... I like this draft and hopefully we see many new questions/bugs from other committers and contributors.
Unfortunately I am not able to make the call today.
Thanks and regards,
Markus

Hi Martin,
I like the draft a lot. Especially the "How do other projects..."
I think good architecture has a lot to do with consistency. In
many projects this is archived by a (one) few lead engineers/architects
that define the "style" of the system. In a meritocracy like eclipse
there is nobody who can enforce style and architecture rules.
The only way is to develop a common mindset, some shared "tribal
knowledge". The "How do other projects ..." questions is a great
way to build up tribal knowledge and to increase consistency.
