Development process principles

Reading about JXTA™ core principles to development process I've found that they can be adopted to AHE development process.

Here are ogriginal statements:

• keep it familiar: where practical, use stuff that's standard and has worked before
• leverage experts: engage a variety of experts early and often
• encourage open development: the design, the specs, the code, and whatever the result is.

JXTA™ technology is a set of open protocols that allow any connected device
on the network ranging from cell phones and wireless PDAs to PCs and servers to
communicate and collaborate in a P2P manner.
