I don't know how many of you will read this, but i thought of posting this new finding that has helped me.

I read Joel's functional spec article some time ago and decided to give it a go. I started writing functional specs for three ideas i was thinking of working on (but obviously i don't have the time to work on all three).

I had a terrible time writing the spec for one idea,one idea was right in the middle between and there was the one i was truly passionate about(not obvious at first sight though).Writing these functional specs helped me find which of these possible projects was the most interesting and promising.

Hope one of you finds this useful.
