Previous findings also show that distance collaboration aggravates software-developmentproblems and radical colocation reduces them. These results motivate a semi-synchronous distributed computersupported modelthat allows programmers creating code asynchronously to synchronously collaborate with each other to detect and resolve potentiallyconflicting tasks before they have completed the tasks. We describe, illustrate, and evaluate a new model designed to meetthese requirements. Our results show that the model can catch conflicts at editing time that would be expensive to manageat later times.
