It is interesting that most of ther responses seem to assume a very large project. But a small company like ours deals with very small applications with very specific uses. Maybe what is needed is a guage of "small" versus "large".

How would you rank a project such as Infopop's "Ultimate Bulletin Board" which appears to be very successful and continually growing.

Or John Cokos "Hyperseek" search engine which has grown over the lsat few years.

If you are not familiar with either one:

http://www.infopop.com

http://www.interactive-web.net

Both of these appear to be small applications. But would require some heavy duty planning and documentation to maintain.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
