Paneris Organisation
There are a number of groups involved in any project,
and therefore involved in Paneris in some way. These are:
- The Core Members. Currently TimP (Context Computing), MylesC (MJCS),
WilliamC (we all agree he needs a better name) and TimJ (HOOP) with ColinR
soon to join. The core members are those that contribute to the Web site.
All work undertaken by the core members will be done using the paneris systems,
and use Paneris as the main branding on the software supplied.
- Members of Paneris. Members of Paneris are free to brand their
work under the paneris banner and exploit the resources available. Any member
of Paneris subcontracting another member of Paneris must use the Paneris
toolset to document the project.
- Paneris Partners. Paneris Partners use the resources of Paneris
by interacting with a Paneris Member (typically a Core Member). Partners
will be encouraged to use the Paneris tools, but it is understood that they
will often have their own agenda.
- End Clients. These are the people for whom we build systems. They
interact with one of the above.

Paneris Members
When it comes to organising members of Paneris themselves, things are slightly different.
The Paneris organisation is totally flat, or at least fractal, meaning that there is no fixed hierarchy but
rather a collection of equals who take different roles depending on the project or situation.
Everyone has the same functions and roles available to them,
but different members specialise in different roles. This approach is effective when communication on a project is open and when the people involved are
technically competent.
The roles seems to be:
- Sales
- Customer Liason
- Project Documentation
- Quality Assurance
- Graphical Design
- Functional Design
- HTML edittting
- Programming
- Time recording
- Invoicing
