+1 -- I always liked the first person feel I got from Smalltalk class comments. You might add something like comments should be written in "first person from the perspective of the class" -0.5 -- Maybe the third person CRC style is better for external documentation (?) cheers -ben On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 9:17 PM, Sean P.

The class comment template begins: "For the Class part: State the name of the class with one line description: For example, I'm xxx the root of the hierarchy of visitor objects."
Unlike a traditional CRC card, we are already in a live programming environment with good tools! So the class name is duplicated info (the browser already shows this) which will have to be manually changed on a class rename. Also, the specific example provides an implementation detail duplicated by the class hierarchy tree already shown in the browser. I'd like to change it to: "For the Class part: State a one line summary. For example, "I represent a paragraph of text.""
Any objections?
