Alistair Cockburn's Crystal Clear (latest draft)

Alistair Cockburn added the 2nd-to-last draft of his ongoing Crystal Clear book way back in March - and I missed it. 

The brief description of Crystal Clear for Level-3 practitioners is just this:

 

The lead designer and two to seven other developers

   in a large room or adjacent rooms,

   using information radiators such as whiteboards and flipcharts,

   having easy access to expert users,

   distractions kept away,

            deliver running, tested, usable code to the users

   every month or two (quarterly at worst),

   reflecting and adjusting their working conventions periodically.

(from Chapter 9, "The distilled version")

I am sooooo looking forward to the pay-for-paper version.
