Project developement procedures and tools
Joint planning and design of the features, is it needed? Selection of features to be implemented in dCache has worked well so far and no major changes are needed. Allocating slots dedicated to design discussion in the weekly phone conference would be a good beginning. Emails and Wednesday meetings should be used to resolve delays and irreconcilable differences in the code review process. Make patches focused, well described and follow review recommendations if possible. New code should mostly follow http://trac.dcache.org/projects/dcache/wiki/dCacheCommunityCodingStyle. Rejections of the design or code should be supported by concrete counter-proposals.
