  True. I have had to do management rolls in previous employment positions.
However, as a developer, I am actively trying to implement FTSC standards and
proposals. Which does give the perspective of "what does this mean?"...

  One of my personal goals is to help make our specifications better organized
for a new developer coming along... where to start? For example, FTS-0001 -
part of it is not relative if your are a Socket developer. And if you read the
specs from 1 forward, you do not find out about BinkP until you read the 10th
specification (FTS-1026).

* I presented a before elections question on ASIAN_LINK - about developing a
new roadmap document for developers who wish to implement spec(s). Was told to
post it here... being a n00b to GoldEd, no idea if there is a cross-post
keystroke. ;-)
