January 2007 Entries
So over the past couple of times that I've been developing a GAT package I've had the register package option disappear from the context menu. At first I thought my package was corrupt or I had done something silly so I would usually start a new package and cut and paste back to where I was.

so Jezz posted here that 2007 will be a great year for Software Factories, I totally agree I think this year we will start to see factories begin to show some of their promise.
