[Takeaction-devel] Project climax

[Justin B. <mik...@ho...>]

Mike, Peter:

The time is finally here: the climax of the project!

I`ll let you know quickly what`s going on on our end. We basically submerged 
ourselves in project work these past couple months and developed the Design 
Document, online User Help Documentation, and a good, stable working version 
of the system. The system is minimal in its current state, and the 
interfaces need more development, but we had to meet a "code freeze" 
deadline last Sunday. We will be demonstrating the system to our advisors 
tommorrow, after which the freeze will be lifted, and development will 
continue.

You`ll be happy to know that with a change in professors this term, we can 
now submit the documentation in OpenOffice format! And there won`t be any 
problems with a digital signature either, so we don`t have to deal with that 
faxing nonesense. :P You can download the design document from my personal 
server at: http://supaju.com/Design_document_v2.sxw . Please note that this 
is due to the academic department by Wednesday, November 5, so please review 
and sign before then (by Tuesday, if possible). Also, please note that the 
design document is rather simple, and probably not industry-standard in many 
ways, but we had to appease many requests from the advisors again. The code 
is more detailed than the Design Document makes it out to be.

Officially, our project ends at the final presentation on November 20. We 
still plan to continue working on the system to fix the bugs and 
requirements we missed last Sunday, and improve the interfaces, so we won`t 
deliver the final system at least until that date.

I hope everything is going well on your end,

-Justin Beattie.
