Re: Confidential DRS post implementation review now public

From: "Peter Mott" The project failed because:- [2] The choice of a traditional slow and expensive corporate IT project methodology rather than a lower cost collaborative effort by a few clueful industry players who understand what the Internet is and how it works.

Then do it the other way. We don't do functional and system specs any more. Develop a prototype, throw it at the users and then evolve it to their requirements. Linux is a classic example if this methodology. At its core the SRS is a pretty simple shared access database with selective update rights. Would an Open Source prototype SRS kick things into life?
