How can you make a reasonable time-deadline for a complete new product  
like FLOW3. All time-related deadlines must in fact be guessings only  
because nobody has the experience to know how long it could take. The only  
reasonable deadlines (aka goals) for a product like this must be set with  
a differen approach then time. It could be about usability, functionality,  
security, architecture etc.

Did you watch the video? If not: do it. Plz. It's only 18 Minutes. And  
it's worth it.

A pupil who knows and believes in another goal than marks will do a much  
better job, than the one who does homework for marks only.
Marks are only important to fill the lack of real goals.
Robert, Karsten an the other FLOW3-enthusiasts have real goals. They don't  
need marks, money or pressure.
