As far as I can see we are still in the process of sorting out the basics of how to build this program. The principles around the back-end ("model") are slowly getting some shape. The main missing aspect IMO is how the interface between View (UI) and model will look like. Given what we already have I would aim for a working subsystem around the stock market as a first goal. It seems, though, that the front-end (View) and back-end (Model) do not progress at the same speed right now. Don't know what we can do about that. On milestones: I think it's too early to set any time goals, if possible at all in any stage. It's a free-time job, the team is small, and the family needs some attention too every now and then.... Right now it's fun, and I would like to keep it like that! Erik. |
