Place your good idea's here:

Add idea and then write an explanation in a child page. Each idea needs to discreet so that we can may a time boxed project. I will add the best to a list of recommendation for process change - Alan Berg

Webdav protocol testing	Run a command line tool nightly. (litmus)	Alan Berg
Dependency analysis	The architecture needs to be as loosely coupled as possible. Do the dependencies in the pom.xml give us early warning of too much coupling? Perhaps a nightly report is needed?
