Senior Project - Fall - Week 3

This week has been, for lack of better words, slow. This is mainly due to everyone getting finally adjusted to their class schedules, and what I feared could be a serious issue: Last Quarter Apathy. While we have made some substantial headway with the project and the current requirements set, the issue arises that, unfortunately, most of the team members have the attitude that as long as we pass this class, then it doesn't really matter what we deliver. This is, of course, a huge problem, in that as professionals, we should work hard to always deliver a quality product, or at least design such a product and lay down the basis for it to be used, maintained, and continued by others. With that being the case, it is looking to become harder and harder to maintain momentum and speed for the project.

So far, the tasks which are targeted to be implemented, with current statuses, are:

1. Full text search of project entries in the database (Myself, Code Complete).
2. Project and Main Page Status Feeds [Probably RSS] (Ben, In Progress).
3. Revamping of Project Models to Suit New Requirements (Matt, In Progress).
4. UI for Main Page, Project Pages, Editting Pages, Login, etc (Adim, Ben, Dylan, In Progress).

Aside, we also have tons of documentation that needs to be accomplished. Because of this, I am also working on that end as well, tracking feature completion, task completion, documenting the system, etc. In short, this is what is targeted for the sprint that ends this week, which is not much, and should be done fairly shortly. If not, this could pose to be a serious problem, as from the end of this week, we only have 4 more viable weeks of development that we can do.
