Seems like there is a lot of interest in this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCRUM is an idea.
Can the team grow beyond 9 (pigs )? Anyone successfully used scrum before in a development project?

Hello. I'm glad you mention it. Project X was an idea too that I wanted to share about the creation of kenya's first distributable Open Source Corporate solution ( a commercial concept ). I even went into all the details of how the suggested work flow would work. There was some interest but my serious handicap was that I'm not a developer ( give me a few years ) nor did I get any feedback from developers. The project is still open to anyone who'd want to implement it. I know of a brazilian company who would have easily done it for me at a cost ( including private labelling ) but this is not my interest and that would defeat its creation. In brazil ( I've never been there ), open source solutions have a very strong market presence and many companies customize them.
A recap of Project X : create a local distribuatble DVD linux/freebsd solution to contain Mail Server, Firewall Server, Squid Server, 2 Network card Interfaces, NDIS, NTLM or OLDAP, Web Interface etc.
Sales : Distribute the DVD to super markets or any outlets. Purchase cost is eg Ksh 300/-. Silly self install system DVD, anyone can create a full server in a matter of minutes, no foss knowledge or experience required. ( ISO installer )
Support : Annual support billable. This revenue would create chances for new developers while existing developers would get revenue. This also creates a professional approach to offering the above.
I moved on to other things in my personal time so I hope someone will implement it one day... :-)

Personally, Crystal Offered to do something not many can do.He is ready to get a team of skunks and skunkettes to form a team to work through project X(Aki... what happened to these project?),and am sure if they team up with Walu,then Project Management isnt an issue.
