At our place we've done it much like this, 'cept the Main responsible person is also the Coder, not that this is *THE* solution, it's *A* solution, when we first started out, we were 3 IMPS, who quickly divided the Workload between us, One for the Code, one for The Builders and one for Webpages. Everyone would be HEAD-Responsible for each task, but should at least have an idea of what the others were up to. WebPages didn't need much from the Coder ('cept the occasional Who'S Online and such), but the Builder-IMP and the Coder-IMP had to work together, since the Builders were going to ask for things that the Scripting at that point couldn't possibly do. So what we designed was hm, mostly like an Org-Chart with Most Responsibility in the top, and less in the bottom, but every person did only have 1 Person to answer responsibility to. This System works very well, since I do not have any clue how to build (I simply lack the Imagination to build immense zones), and I do not want to know either (Since people say that would ruin the code). The builders-IMP Now have to answer to me why this and that isn't made, or how far a zone has come, I don't know who builds it (In theory, in pracsis I do know), and it's really none of my business either, The Head-Builder is taking care of such things and reports what's going on and suchlike. So really from having 3 Persons we went to have 1 responsible person, 1 person people can go to, but that person only have to ask 1 person (Or whatever) to find out things, and so forth.. Much like a box system, works nicely for us.. BUT! It is not *THE* solution, We've tried different ways, and this seems to work best for us.. just my 2 cents Serces -- "The Law of Self Sacrifice" When you starve with a tiger, the tiger starves last. +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
