I had a chat with TimBL about the WS Arch work in which he asked a very interesting question. He wanted to know whether we were producing a diagram that would make clear what parts of the architecture currently have specs in place, what parts have specs in progress and what parts need specs but there is nothing in sight. I don't think that this kind of thing is explicitly a part of our requirements, and in fact I think that we have not thought too much about this particular audience -- the people that launch or coordinate the spec efforts as opposed to the spec writers themselves -- but I think that the expectation is a pretty reasonable one. I made some really dumb response like, "Gee, got me. I suspect that it's a little early to see results like that but we may be doing things that could go in that direction". But now I wonder -- could specs be mapped onto the spaghetti diagram that we have been working on? If not, does that indicate that some other view is needed? It seems to me that some specs go onto that diagram pretty naturally, but that some involved with the "ilities" might not. Or perhaps that is just because the diagram is incomplete??
