Gliffy: web-based diagramming
from the argouml-is-nice-but-what-if department
Lifehacker ran a piece today on Gliffy, a web-based collaborative tool for creating diagrams (flowcharts, floorplans, etc).
There's an example that shows a class diagram, but I couldn't actually find a way in Gliffy to create one. Maybe they faked it.. but, if implemented, collaborative class diagrams might be of interest to Plone product developers, particularly if the diagrams could be exported to UML.
Even better, imagine something like Gliffy hooked in to ArchGenXML on the back end. Developers could get together online, build the UML model together, and have the AGX-generated product code packaged up on the server, ready to be downloaded for testing, pushed into a subversion repository, or even loaded directly on to a testing Plone instance.
That just might rock...
