Hi Cees -
I think there are some areas where this can work but you have to be careful to group the right things together. Like, for example, Morphic and MVC are inherently incompatible from my point of view, because they are so different and historically, people who have an interest in one tend to have not too much of an interest in the other. The "core class library" (whatever that may be) might make some more sense here.
OTOH, why force the matter? If you think that Files and Network should be combined into a single team, you can propose that right now. There
And being the Network team leader I would not object to such a merge. :) The areas do intersect quite a bit and are on the same conceptual level (pro merge) and a merged team would still be specific enough to hopefully work efficiently. Any arguments against such a merge?
isn't really a need to make a top-down decision by saying "these are the teams and that's it". Also, I'm not sure I follow your concerns - it
I agree - no real need for a top-down decision. Hopefully it will sort itself out and personally I have from the start argued for larger packages that break themselves down when it seems suitable.
But I agree with Cees - we should not create "too small" teams just because there happen to be some kind of PI structure in the image fitting it. In other words - there is AFAIK no "preferred size" when it comes to forming teams - if a larger team seems reasonable, go for that.
seems to me that we really don't have quite enough experience to say what works and what doesn't, so maybe we should give the current setup a bit of time to see if it works out.
Agree with that too. :)
So bottom line is that I think I'm neutral on the overall idea but I am strictly against forcing a decision top-down (like "defining" a UI team that consists of Morphic and MVC) since I think that this decision is best left to the people doing the work.
Cheers,

Agree.
So I agree with you both :). Let's form teams, large or small - lump them together or split them apart - as we see fit.
