Activity that has a likelihood of causing contention within a model should be communicated to everyone working in that model. Advanced warning allows others to prepare and schedule their activities to avoid contention. It also allows users to respond if the activity being scheduled causes hardship on other priority activities.
For example, if 10 users are actively working in a model and one user needs to run a download, no other user can perform an upload during the download. The user should send a group message to the other users in that model notifying them of the time of the download. The other users can then plan their activities around the download and avoid the cost and frustration of a failed upload.
A variety of successful methods exist for communicating information:
For each of these means, if possible, set up group IDs for projects, models and encyclopedias.
