Actually, I've been using the framework for a while now. I've already written an app in it (which I ened up retooling to run under Web Connect). The problem I'm running into is that I don't get to use the framework on a daily basis. That means I tend to forget the specifics of the framework and have to relearn it a bit to use it again.

Again, I'm not primarily a developer (although I do a lot of programming). What I've been hoping to do is get them to commit to just giving me a budget and letting me pick how/where I spend the money. Then I could just allocate the money and go :) I already have a wide leash with what I can spend without having to get it OK'ed right now, but that in addition to me being gone might be a problem. Oh well.

My next big project with really make use of the framework - I'm kind of looking forward to it.
