Back in December, in its second week, I began documenting the requirements and user interface of the Osbourrne Scope. This scope will take care of our affiliate program. We named in it honor of Ozzy.
Although, I originally thought it was going to take me three weeks to document it, it actually took me almost six. It ended up having 13 use cases and 81 individual user interface screens and components. I also ended up being an expert on international tax law
(this scope needs to understand how to withhold tax from payments made to affiliates residing outside the United States).
This scope will be coded only after we have reached version 1.0. In other words, it is not likely to see the light of the day until sometime in 2010. I worked on it now as I am sure I won’t be able to focus on documentation too much, after we reach alpha and open our doors to the general public. I am sure I will be very busy then…
