[dba-VB] FYI: SCRUM/Agile - Born To Cycle

Hello Shamil,
I am trying to get some advice from the SVN forums on how to properly manage
a private / public server environment which is what we have.

When I start to get some results on it, I will offer to attempt to help
here.

However, before we start that, does the team still want to maintain the
private / public source control servers.  If so, I will try to get scripts
written to automate a release from private to public, but if you are
considering switching back to a codeplex only store, then I do not need to
write such scripts.

It is up to you all to let me know what is best for the team,

Shamil, do I get it right that the main problem with the codeplex only
environment is that codeplex does not allow certain users to lock files?
 And do I have it right that you wish to lock the proj files to avoid people
messing them up with the have earlier builds?  In that case I guess that you
must have been maintaining the latest / most correct proj file for the team?
 Is that right?  Actually as I write this email, I realise that I am
attempting to assist in solving a problem, but I am not 100% sure I know
what the problem really is.  I recall it was related to the proj and sln
files, but would you like to remind me what  the problem was and what you
did to over come the problem.  I will then try to help, if that help is
needed.

thanks

Mark
