Lee,
I have to disagree with you. If you are thinking of circuits when you
are wireframing your app, then you are "still" not using wireframes
correctly. I am currently moving a prototype into its architecture and
believe me, its not "behind the times", its very easy!
With the prototype generation, the opensource tools have jumped to the
next level in FLIP. Wireframe the app, create your prototype, then think
about your architecture and move your prototype pages into their
circuits, add your core files and go to work. How much simpler could it
be.
I have been thinking "beyond the horizon" about the opensource
wireframetool and trying to come up with some "new" ideas for tool. One
idea I had was to keep the prototype config in a wddx file and create an
interface for grouping like functionality and building these into
circuits then generating the site code with fusedocs. This would add the
next logical step to the tool. But then, that takes it from being just a
wireframeing tool to a full-on FLIP tool.
Dont give up on wireframing, used correctly it 'will' make things much
easier.
