That might work. Just so long as I don't exceed my allotted bandwidth.

Looks great!
I'd put a FAQ on each one though, and why not put all of this into a single article with [edit]href's at the top to easily get to the subsections in the article body[/edit]? Personally, I'd find that a lot easier to manage.

The reason I have it across 5 pages is for messages. There is only one message thread per article and it would be nice to have several on a project.

You say a lot of things, most of which is quickly forgotten (fortunately)

You have been my sig for a long time now, and you only just noticed?  I think I will have to increase my volume of posts (which is likely with me being a project leader for the UGLY team).
It may also be time for a sig change. Looks like I will have to keep my eyes open for likely candidates.

Has there been any movement on the CP side of getting an area for these types of posts? I would like to see a CP Digest "article" and project "articles" separate from the message boards but that would not fit well with the "real Articles".

Chris has been gone at TechEd in Dallas, so no there hasn't been anything like this done yet. At least he hasn't made it known yet.
I'm going to post an article series format for review later today so check back tonight.

That digest was so fantastic that I am afraid you have shot yourself in the foot because now we will want one each week 
BTW has anyone even had a brief look at how projects such as Mozilla (Firebird, Thunderbird, Gecko) were done? Whatever one says about open source, Mozilla produced at least one fantastic product. Might be worth checking out their methods and processes. Obviously their scope and depth is far greater than ours at the moment but there may be things to learn from them (And I dare say managing that lot must be more difficult than a bunch of CPians.)

Requested by: Jason Henderson
All Request For Comments (RFC) should be posted on my message board[^] where I will then post them here at the proper time.
BEGIN
=================================================
We need templates or guidlines for writing some critical documents.
1) Design Document
2) guidelines for enhancement suggestions or initial ideas (may not be critical)
3) Project Timeline
4) QA checklists?
First of all, do we need some of these? Which do you think are necessary and which aren't (and why)? Any others?
Second, what needs to be in these documents?
If you have some templates, please submit them for review... somehow. 
=================================================

Design document - ESSENTIAL - so that we know what we're doing and how we're doing it, and what we're not doing. I can help out with this. I'm designing a template, and if I like it myself, I'll upload it to my only hosting area that has space.
guidelines for enhancement suggestions or initial ideas - ???
Project Timeline - we should outline a project timeline, but we probably won't stick to it (although, of course, we should try to ).

we need a basic template for this type of document since I think we need one too.

There was one further design document we need. A coding standard, so that code developed by various people all has the same layout/naming convensions.
This can have a big effect as people will not have to re-work what they have developed to bring it all into one cosistent layout.

Good point.
What standards would you like to use for your project?

I have been working on project where some people used Hungarian Notation, and some did not.
It was really not a big issue, because we accepted the others style, and everyone was happy because they could code using their own style...

Telling your team how to write readable code is a good thing.
You're not going to change the way a particular team member writes code in a general sense, but you can tell them what is acceptable and what isn't.
int i; // bad
int iCounter; // good
int iCounterForJasonsWidgetClass; // too much
That sort of thing.

I am not a fan of hungarian notation, but it is useful when its limited in some ways:
m_ for a member var
s_ for a static member var
m_bVariable for bools/flags
I don't really care about the rest, as long as its descriptive so you can tell what a variable is for!
Whats really more important is the encapsulation and const correctness of the code.
