Hi Marius,
I gave the wizard a try. First remark is that it's looking great ! We are
on the right track.
I had 3 bugs and a few usability remarks:
Bug 1: tried to go in as a guest user. I was allowed in but then it failed
with a velocity exception because I did not have edit rights. You'll need
some more testing of rights.
Bug 2: when adding a static list using Chrome (does not happen on FF), I
tried to edit the display name of the field. I started by deleting the
current text. When I added more text then field did not grow anymore with
the test I typed. Then some additional click lead me out of the page and I
lost my work.
-> this means we need to secure getting out of the page using a
Javascript warning of the unsaved work
Bug 3: with the application I created called "Product Sheet" the livetable
was broken. I could not exactly understand why. I suspect the white space.
Error is
"missing ; before statement: livetable_product sheets = n...t
sheets", function (row, i, table) { "
Usability:
1/ It is not obvious at all the pretty name gets updated by clicking on
it. The pretty name edit should also be available in the editing of the
field.
2/ More generally the difference between technical names and display names
need to be more clear. For the application name it is not obvious that this
will be the name used for the space name. I included a space in it which
was not what I wanted in the end.
3/ When editing the pretty name of a field, all is in capitals (wether you
type capitals or not). This is missleading as the real display won't be
using capitals.
4/ It is not clear how to get back to livetable/home page editing
5/ we might want to add some explanatory text to help users around. Caty
could look into that.
In general it's great. It's already quite complete and we will need to
have some discussions about what the most important enhancements are
(template creation, more fields, export, etc..), because none seem
obviously absolutely necessary to me, but all are really interesting as
they allow to make an application that goes further.

Hi devs,
I just committed a first version of the AppWithinMinutes wizard. If
you want to try it then download the latest XE 3.3 snapshot and visit
AppWithinMinutes.CreateApplication page.
Waiting for feedback,
