"_I just found an excellent wiki web by Coplien and and Harrison on_ [_Organization Patterns of Agile Software Development_](http://www.easycomp.org/cgi-bin/OrgPatterns?BookOutline)_. It’s high quality writing, in fact there is even a_ [_dead-trees version_](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131467409/darrellnorton-20) _on Amazon. You can also download the chapters of the book in PDF format, all 488 pages of them. This should keep me busy for a while."_
