- Subject: Re. Requirements to mailing lists
-
-
- One requirement to mailing lists is that responses to broadcasted
- messages are not automatically broadcasted to everybody on the list.
- One requirement to requirements is that somebody has the power to
- satisfy the requirements, within too long.
- One weakness of state-of-the-art requirements engineering is that
- requirements all too often live their own lives, comfortably removed
- from the dirty realities of software implementors.
- Let this be a lesson!
