As the CDK has an important relationship with models, I have learned a bit, not just about models, but how important the communication is between modelmakers and the CDK programmer.
I have started this list as a means of allowing the modelmaker and the programmer to identify differences before they become a problem.

It is not complete, by any means, for high-end games with huge budgets and many teams.

However, I hope it is a starting point for CDK level projects.
I look forward to hearing suggestions.
