Subject: workspaces and configurations
One point I neglected to add to the minutes from this week's conference
call was Henry's suggestion that if we were removing the "dynamic" behavior
from workspaces, why not unify the concept of workspaces and configurations?
After some reflection, it appears to me that it makes good sense to
model the new "stable" workspace object as simply a checked-out
configuration, i.e. a "working configuration". This not only unifies
the concept of workspaces and configurations, but also unifies the
notion of baselines and configurations (a baseline is the "checked in
state of a workspace", and in this simplified model, all checked-in
configurations will by definition always be the checked in state of a
workspace).
Unless there are objections, I will include this unification in the
"stable workspace" proposal I'm working up.
Cheers,
Geoff
