Hi guys

We are writing some articles on the work of veronica to support merging activities. We need your input great smalltalk community :)
What are the questions that you ask yourselves when you are/want to merge some code in your project?
We would like to do a compilation of questions and also evaluate how the solution of veronica solves them or part of them.

Here are some typical questions we asked ourselves.
- What other changes did this change require?
- Can I integrate this change right now?
- How large it is?
- Who made it?
- Is it still valid (when I'm working on an old change)?
- Is this change impacted by a change that happened in another branch of my software?
Number 1 question I always ask but is sort of implicit in the other questions is,

why was this change made?

which impacts on, is it still valid and is this change impacted by a change that happened in another brach of software.
