I'm not inviting you to my happy place Soren! ;-) It's a popular communicate technique used to build consensus. I find it often worthwhile to present things in a number of ways as we all use different lens, and we don't want to limit our audience (particularly prematurely). Examples of variations of this technique are: * Amazon's "working backwards" http://www.shmula.com/start-with-the-customer-and-work-backwards/324/ http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2006/11/working_backwards.html * Automattic often drafts the blog post and help pages before starting on design and implimentation. The very best to you, Lloyd _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
