 Description

Facetime is a pilot framework for a later commercial service to be made generally available and currently used to support my programming practice.

Whiteboard refers to a sample app used to exemplify the framework. It's therefore fulfilling design intent if it looks crude and samplish, but the polished apps cranked out in the fw should not, subject to them having or not having custom artistic graphic treatments (see The Chosen Ones) or not needing one.

Typically I'm using the notation Ft X of which Ft Whiteboard, is the defining use case, to refer to this variability of the model app.

So Ft BizCard, a use of the fw to support an video version of my flash biz card planned for some time before Ft, is a pilot polished app the be so cranked in 2012-01.

 Approach

Ft is meant to be 100% agile, extreme, UNIT_XP (an old derivative of agile/XP I defined in the prior century shortly after Pittman's book) whatever, the opposite of my supporting, infrastructure projects which are supported as projects with Cliubooks and the like. Ft stresses rapid deployment of finished parts of that infrastructure, including much 3rd party software, already in a production state, mashed up and pushed out into a production context.

Ft will also be used as exemplary material in the Cliubook projects where its official documentation and support will be.

 Planned SaaS GA Release

Not before second quarter '12.
