A week's too short

I'm slowly getting up to speed, it seems. My target to send three article proposals during these two weeks is almost done. Today I sent the second proposal (of which I will hear some time in September) and started working on the third one. I'm using the rejected conference paper as a basis and doing the corrections I got from the peer review. I'm, for example, adding more detailed information about the use of the "Tick-The-Code" Inspection method. I did test it in Paris, you know.

I found a fivefold improvement in the average number of findings in an hour. That means that if software developers today are doing code inspections without special assistance they might be finding 10 items an hour. With the "Tick-The-Code" Inspection they would be finding 50 ticks an hour. The same people, with the same brains, just with a new technique. Isn't that exciting?
