Store all documentation and code in the RCS

I'm no expert in big project management, but the first thought that came into my mind, was "have the programmers save ALL code they write", even failed snippets, in case you need to "prove" that you didn't steal some copywrited code, and came to find it independently". This in case someone at SCO ( :-) ) decides to file a frivilous lawsuit against your code.... or somebody taking your code, and saying it was theirs.

When I start a little mini-project of my own, I generally have tens of "failed" attempts, each leading "step-by-step" to the final code. This could prove very useful to a legal department trying to mount a defense of it's "independent derivation".

In the business world, it's more about legality and money, than programming itself.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
