What is your normal response to these types of questions? I bet it's stop what your doing, find this information give it to the person asking and then take another 30-60 minutes trying to get back in the zone or you just bite their head off as you have only just got into the zone.

Well what it should be is "It's on the wiki". What you don't have a wiki????? If your using SVN and Trac then you do :)

If the response back is I've checked and it's not there, one of three things just happened:

1. They are lieing and haven't checked the wiki
2. They are bloody blind and can't see it for looking
3. You haven't put it up there, Shame on you that'll learn ya

To this end I suggest if you haven't got a Wiki go get one now!!! And if you have ensure all the information you can is up there and is always kept up to date, even a weekly 30 min tour through your wiki will help, 1) You may see things you never knew about 2) Your spot out of date / changed information 3) It can be a nice relaxing break from coding.

Yeah Yeah, you document it all and its in nicely formatted documents on a share drive, remember we are developers and we want everything now, and those documents are just "Write Only"
