Facetime, the dominion system codeset

Ft <X>

 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 dedicated 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.

 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, and an old mod_perl CMS page where the first elements were assembled (see the framing EG talk page). It's therefore fulfilling design intent if it looks crude and samplish, but production apps using the git app and having a minimalist or template derived L&F (see The Chosen Ones) do not.

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.

Ft BizCard: replace the old whiteboard page place holder at live.thoughtcrime.biz with a video version of my flash biz card planned for some time.
