RE: RFC 125 (v2) Components in the Perl Core Should Have Well-Defined APIs and Behavior

[Peter Buckingham]

--| UML is extremely useful as a design language.  I wonder, though, how
--| a distributed collaborative effort can utilize it.

i think that what has to happen is that some one (larry, Dan, anyone?) comes
up with a top level object decompostion and then those boxes get farmed out
to people to fill in. when they've been filled in they have something
similar to the RFC process for comments and criticisms and are refined.

--| Anyone know of any
--| open-source web-enabled UML tools?  Or do I gotta write one
--| myself? :-)

I had used visio myself in the past, definitely not open source :-(

but i did a quick check and there is a visio style program that is covered
by the GPL
        Dia (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/)

i have not used it, but it may be simpler than just doing everything from
scratch in xfig.
