Paul Jones has a quick note over on his blog concerning a topic more developers really should pay attention to - developing software for people, not groups.

And there you have it in a nutshell. No **organization** ever wrote or used a program. **Individuals** write and use programs. If you want people to love your software, it has to appeal to individuals.

As a corollary, if your program sucks for individuals, it will suck for the organization. This goes along with the complex adaptive systems and emergent behavior issues I rant about from time to time.

Good idea for a project at the end of the article, too: server-less calendar sharing. Cool.

This article is a good read for just about anyone out there - all the way from the simple, quick script developers all the way out to the guru entire-site coders. Remember: groupware bad, users good!
