RE: Why Readers? ~Lily Nonwetherjip 27.Jan.04 04:24 PM a Web browser Domino Designer 6.0.1All Platforms
It's a thankless task helping others - most of the time you have your hand bitten off. Ritous are those who never preach to helpful souls.
Yes - but that assumes that I have detailed knowledge of your spec. The extreme programming rule (as interpreted by you) can be seen as a rule for cowboys who develop systems that are not future proof, and not scalable. But mthinks that Extreme Programming doesn't mean that your solution cannot be scalable.
Ever built a system which needs to be updated after the event with readers fields - this can cause issues with replication, document updates, etc. etc. Which means that you should be aware of every pitfall in your design concept, and allow for future proofing. That doesn't mean that you create huge code modules that you think you might need in ten years - but simply apply simple models (eg. for security) which will work regardless of which way you turn.
Anyway, I'm bored of this debate (already), and good luck with your 'extreme programming'. In future, may I suggest that you try and look at the Designer help before posting your question here.
