Anyone know of any good resources on what to do about a product when the team that built it disbands, but the product is expected to live on?
@edebill My CV. i was on the 3.0 team for the platform, and had to go back to the source code because the server config file parameters weren't documented. Took me a month of tracing variables through the code to determine acceptable values.
@WanderingBeekeeper Ooof. That sounds miserable, and exactly the sort of thing we're trying to avoid. Naturally we can do what we think best (which seems like some clean up/refactoring and lots of documentation), but there's usually a better way than that first instinctive way to do it.
