NSE -- anybody using it?

[Steve Harris]

Is anybody using Sun's Network Software Environment (NSE) for
project/configuration/source management?  If so, would you describe your
experiences with the product (including support), and your level of
satisfaction.  A few questions come to mind:

Did you migrate an existing development project to NSE or did you start
from scratch?

	How long did it take to learn NSE?
	 (a) to the point that it is not a hindrence?
	 (b) to the point it is a real help?
	 (c) to the point you can make it stand on its head?

	What kind of disk storage requirements does NSE make?
	  (i.e., do you find it makes lots of copies of files,
	   or does it really use links efficiently?)

	How big is your project?  (number of:)
	  programmers?
	  workstations?
	  source files?  (lines of source?, MB of source?)
	  target environments?

	How would you do things differently if starting over?

As this may be of interest to many Sun-spotters, and as I suspect there
are not a lot of NSE users yet, please post responses to directly to
the sunspots newsgroup.
