Inappropriate?Hey, Mark:
I'd like to get Josh to answer your question. He was one of the two developers on WideLens, and can provide the most accurate answer. I sent him an email requesting that.

I’m sorry I didn't get back to you in email.

Ted,
Thanks that would be great. -
Inappropriate?We first began talking about the database schema for Widelens in October of 2007. Development started serious in Novemeber 2007 with myself and another engineer. By February of 2008 we had major pieces of the app together, with connectivity to Exchange, Facebook, Google, iCal, and Salesforce. I don't have specific timelines for each piece, but I recall it taking a week or so for a developer to do each connector.
We were also re-factoring our design to be more flexible and elegant during this time as well. I added in account creation, authentication, account recovery, etc... soon afterwords. In March and April we worked on a recurrence engine to help with reoccurring appointments as well as a caching engine.
After April the development on Widelens slowed down to bug fixes.
I hope this answers your question.

Inappropriate?Josh,
Thank you for your reply.
As a follow-up
1) Would you say that it took estimated
ERD - 160 hours ?
AppPro/TypeLib's/StyleProj/ResourcePro - 1280 hours ?
Kind Regards,
Mark
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Giving time frames in months was probably misleading because of other things we were working on at the same time.
To break it down by hours:
ERD- 40 hours
AppPro/TypeLib's/StyleProj/ResourcePro- about 900 hours
Image/Graphical resources - 40 hours
If you let me know why you're interested in this information I may be able to answer your underlining question more directly.

Inappropriate?Josh - Sent you an email. Please reply so I know you have received it?
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?I received the email. We've had requests from other people similar to the ones you mentioned in your email, so I forwarded the email along and I believe they are compiling the answers to your questions now.
