Lotus Quickr Templates - Code Complete
Category NoneAt exactly 5:52 PM today, Friday June 29, on the day we promised IBM and the rest of the QuickrSphere we would be finished with Lotus Quickr Template code, we wrapped up the last template for submission to IBM. Believe me folks this has been one of the most challenging, exciting projects we have ever worked on - 15 weeks of heads-down, cutting edge, and FUN rapid development made possible only with the dedication and effort of an incredible team of people at SNAPPS and support from our friends at IBM.
Each member of the SNAPPS team - Viktor Krantz, Melissa Rieke, Jerald Mahurin, Troy Reimer, and yours truly took this challenge head-on, meeting what was deemed an impossible schedule with a seven-weeks late start. Thanks and congratulations to the team. And thanks once again to Satwik, Marc, Paul, Bob, Tony, Mike, and everyone on the IBM Quickr team who provided assistance, feedback, late night sessions, and most of all collaboration to bring us both to a successful June completion. At fifteen emails/day and at least two or three phone calls, we've enjoyed a close relationship with the IBM team and look forward to working with them again should we be lucky enough to be tapped for similar projects in the future.
So you're wondering when the goods will be available - and even more so, what they are. Well now that code is complete, we have a few days of tasks ahead, in addition to making some more movies:
1. Full functional tests on the Quickr GA code.
2. Creation of "Quick Start" pages in each template so users know what to do and how to start.
3. Documenting the common and unique installation and configuration steps, making sure customers can get it going easily.
4. Finishing off a download mechanism that's been cooking in the background.
5. Posting places, source code, licenses, and a second set of places with sample data.
This will take a few days. I'm working this weekend, in case you wondered. There are a couple other things on my plate as well, but we'll get it out to you as soon as we can!
