Hi Robert

I would certainly expect that to be possible.

I would return to the make/Ant analogy.

On a really large project, there may be a complete sub-team responsible
for the build procedures, and the programmers have no involvement with
these procedures.

On a really small project, there may only be one person involved
who of course does everything.

make/Ant supports both these extremes and so should MDDi.

I would further hope that MDDi provides the opportunity for libraries
of reusable transformations to develop so that everyone's work is much
simpler. This will then resolve the extreme programming is incompatible
with accurate modelling row. Generation of code from models will be quick
useful and versatile, just what an extreme programmer quite rightly demands.
