+Since the compiler plays a fairly central role in the development process at
+Recore, I have been cooperating with a number of different people, in different
+areas. On one end, the compiler is directly used by the DSP engineers, so a lot
+of the requirements and wishes for the compiler come from them. Also, they are
+often providing bug reports and other feedback, which ensures regular contact.
+
+On the other end, I have been in contact with the developer of the backend very
+intensively, since most changes made to either component needed changes in the
+other one as well. So compiler changes also require hardware support, so working
+with the hardware developers was not uncommon either. In practice, most of this
+communication went through the backend developer, except for the design
+discussion concerning the new Montium hardware design (also see section
+\ref{Pipelining} below).
+
+In addition, discussions regarding design issues at various levels often happen
+out in the open, which easily invites people with an opinion about something to
+chime in, without having to gather people around for every discussion that
+happens. This allows for very quick feedback on ideas from people in all areas
+in an efficient way.
