    <td>The openFIRST.projects module intergrates with the openFIRST.members module 
      to provide a very effective module. The entire system is used to manage 
      team progession and its projects. It has a built in action register system, 
      a meeting organizer, and automated daily updates e-mail system (uses Crontab/MS 
      Schedular). This script is highly advanced and evolved, so please be careful 
      in reading and modifying it.</td>

  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><p>The projects module is midly complex. It helps organize data efficiently. 
        Information is organized in this basic hierarchy: groups, projects, tasks 
        and notes. Groups must be created and members must be assigned to these 
        groups. Under these groups an administrative may assign particular projects. 
        Projects may be tracked by their completion. If an administrative wishes 
        he can make a project wait (or pend) until one project is done for the 
        other to become active. In order for a project to be complete it must 
        be set to 100%. If a project is lowered from 100% then then the projects 
        that pend on it will be set back to pending (even if they are finished 
        or close to finished).</p>
      <p>Only users who were assigned to the particular group can add/modify projects 
        under each group. A member who is now assigned to the project may create 
        tasks and assign other people to it. Tasks have the same rules of pending 
        just like projects do. Now in order to keep track of task completion members 
        may commit notes and information to each task. Again only members assigned 
        to that task have privileges to add a note.</p>
      <p>The projects module also has a meeting organizer which users may add 
        meetings or declare as past. This feature is important because it provides 
        and online and remote record for reference at any time.</p>
      <p>The meetings and action register system are all included into the daily 
        updates system. In order for a webmaster to setup the update system they 
        are required to create a crontab schedule which passes the updates.php 
        script through the PHP Zend Engine. Crontab is only available on Unix 
        systems. The Win32 equivelent would possibly be Microsoft Event Schedule. 
        There are also 3rd party softwares which can be downloaded to perform 
        events based on time.</p>

  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><p>We are planning to expand this module by adding a crontab and MS Event 
        Schedular install script. The module will also be modified with image/document 
        uploading features to allow for better documentation and system tracking. 
        We also plan to add a complete projects logger which tracks every little 
        change made by every user.</p>
      <p>We are also planning to create an automatic crontab setup script for 
        Unix systems only. This will be unveiled in the next openFIRST release.</p></td>
