Perhaps part of the problem centers around this goal. I'm not so sure you would actually *want* this in all environments. I can see it making sense in a maintenance mode. But for initial development I think everyone needs a "home" in the project as much as they need a physical "home" in the plant. (Don't tell me you do hotelling too?) I just can't see it working where one person starts to code up a design for a circular delimited logging queue one day, and another person comes in the next and codes up a bit more of it, then a third person come in the next day and codes some more of it. Every person left to their own devices would probably solve that problem a different way. If all of them tried this at once, it'd be a mess.
