While we ended up a little off the bulls eye, our vector is still aligned and we are moving in the right direction. Our Target Was to be Ready For Alpha Testers by the end of July. It's the beginning of August, still in an acceptable range, true, but while I already am Alpha Testing, it's not quite ready for our Friends and Family Alpha release. I do have a few web developer friends and they are being very helpful, so we really are in Alpha Testing.
I wish I could show it to you, but it has taken four complete functional frameworks to get here, where we're all pretty happy with our choices. Of course integrating it all together for the Release Candidate and our friends and family surfing around in there, they can forgive the color scheme, but the navigation has to work. It drives me crazy when navigation spins me around. So in a little while now, we will go into stealth mode tests. In reality, this blog entry will probably be long lost by the time you run into C What I Can Do, or C what I did... So even as I'm writing it, it is an historical document. Just like from one moment to the next. It can all change...
Here is the state of this project:
1. As mentioned we have a design in place that is A Release Candidate. Target, around the middle of the month.
2. CwhatIdid.com opened it's potential and we are re-thinking of it as more of a Sister Site as much as a part of CwhatIcanDo.com Right now the logo is CwhatIcanDo with a pale version of CwhatIdid behind it. But as some others have been introduced to the concept, I may have discovered another use altogether for CwhatIdid and the potential is high.
3. We have many things to do before the site will be available to web surfers, bullet-proofing everything making sure our agreements with Creators give them the Intellectual Property Protection we promise. Dotting i's and crossing t's, plus the mechanisms for a lot of the features that will put the dazzle into the site that will make it a cool place to hang out with your creator friends you get here.
I'll keep you posted occassionally here. I have a few notes to myself I need to be able to look back on and regain my bearings. Not that I'm floppin' around just busy.

We have a commitment from a real-life e-commerce company! These guys are friends of mine (it's friends and family time.) They will give our sister site: CwhatIdid a try as a place for them to connect with people interested in a do it yourself installation of their products.
Of course, this is our current intention... Many events can occur between now and public release time, unpredictable things, that neither me or my friends can know about. But, this is clearly the beginning of a real-life test of the website.
Since this site was inspired and driven by robots, it makes sense that it is going to have a whole section on Robots. The "plan" at the moment is to have another friend, this one affiliated with the Robot Football League. If my friend's experience is good, we will start the plan.
Our plan is to invite a number of home-built roboticists to populate the site before it goes public. So Robots, will get a lucky break, Robot builders get exclusive use of the website for a period of time ranging from a month to possibly three months.
When the public beta takes place, the influence of robotics on the entire web site will be well-established.
