I'm trying to create a simple AJAX to Telnet client for the web. I may be re-inventing the wheel by doing this, but it is a learning project for myself. At the moment I haven't written anything, I'm just trying to get the idea wrapped around my brain. It doesn't necessarily have to be PHP. If I have a telnet client that supports multipl...

I need a documentation system for a team. This team, man, we got a big ol' web service, and we got new products in the pipeline. And currently, there's only a wiki hosted on a trac system. And believe me when I say the organization smells, well, far south of cheese. Most of the time you want to find something as a developer, you probably...
At various times in my career I have encouraged staff I worked with and/or managed to track defects in artifacts of the development process other than source code (i.e. requirements, tests, design). Each time the request has been met with astonishment, confusion and resistance. It seems so obvious to me that I'm always a little shocked w...
