QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!! [01-20-01]

[Ken Leung]

Hi all. Been extremely busy with my teams this year, and arranging details to get back to school, and doing the newsletter. Sorry for not replying to people's e-mail or PM's. Anyway, while I was going from team to team, I faced some trouble when they ask me, "What are the other teams doing?¡¨ I found myself hesitating when answering that question, because I don't want to leak teams' secret design to others, especially since this year is so much different from last year... With that in mind, here's the question of the week...

QUESTION 01/20/01: How important is secrecy this year?

Using an old question from the master...

Did you hesitate like me when you talk to others? Do you feel bad about keeping trade secret? If it's FIRST's spirit to share your knowledge, should there be secrecy between teams at all?
