We already have enough tools to notify us about "slacking" developers. |
| 28 |
However, at one point the "slacker email" also included the away message |
| 29 |
and the .away file date. It's a pity it was removed from a later |
| 30 |
revision as that was helpful. |
| 31 |
As in many other jobs around here, the issue with retirement is |
| 32 |
motivation. We can always use more man power, but without constant |
| 33 |
motivation, it won't improve the project status. |
| 34 |
