The first use of the term[edit]

The current article claims the neologism was first used by Peter G. Neumann in 1977, based on Larry L. Constantine (2001). The Peopleware Papers: Notes on the Human Side of Software.‎

Now Larry L. Constantine (2001) on page xvii stated: "in a 1976 paper called "Peopleware in Systems" in an obscure book that took..."

Now I don't know, what else Constantine explained here, but it seems Peter G. Neumann in 1977 is not the official first user.

From what I can see without the book, it appears that "Peopleware in Systems" was published in 1976 and in 1977, and that in it was published an article by Peter G. Neumann with the same name. The contention point wouldn't be whether he was the first published user of the term, but on whether he did it in 1976 or 1977. JorgeAranda (talk) 14:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine cites the Neumann paper and book as the first documented/published use but seems to have gotten the date of publication wrong (as well as the spelling of Neumann's name; but he is not the only one). I checked online and found book to have been published 1977 but have not located an actual copy. Several other online sources cite 1976 but were clearly copying from Constantine. Is it acceptable to query Neumann directly (his online bibliography is incomplete)? Stirrer (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Duplication[edit]

This article now duplicates material in Peopleware (book). I would propose reducing the section here on the book to a single sentence. Stirrer (talk) 15:50, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Both articles are still a stub. Better just improve both articles, then subobtimalizing this current situation. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 16:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Though both articles are still a stub, this one need not duplicate word for word the material available in the book article. I agree with Stirrer that the book section in this article should be reduced down to a sentence, maybe two if we want to include a broad idea of the scope of the book.

Copy-paste registration[edit]

In this edit text is copy/paste from this older version of the now Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams article. -- Mdd (talk) 16:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
