Research idea 2

Interesting stats (though not nescesarily accurate, seems a reasonable indicator) - Would either justify stealing bits of their interface (critical comparison) - AND/OR evidence to support "upload blog" feature from journal http://www.elise.com/web/a/an_overview_of_the_weblog_tools_market.php

Research link for dissertation - 1

Thought this might be of interest for dissertation research/thinking about stuff: http://www.sdtimes.com/printArticle/LatestNews-20080115-20.html

Dissertation priority

To be producing tangible documentation and code for Ian

• Class diagram
• Documentation of Architecture Design
• Re-work GUI so that the buttons do something!
• Do a demo of how the XML would work - even if it's just using code/XML Docs
• Ensure all work undertaken is documented

Journal idea

Create each notebook page so that it's a journal entry.
The notebooks is to be called a journal instead

You can
-add
-delete
-edit that entry

The entry is time stamped and arranged in reverse chronological order.

Easier to program and maintain through the XML Document

The journal is based on the capabilities of blogger.com - simple editing but powerful
Maybe apply the same type of shortcut prescribed by blogger. Might make it somewhat intuitive

Done (even if they will need reworking when design and requirements changes, it's still a template):

• Intro
• Aims and Obj
• Req Specs (v2)
• Gantt Chart
• GUI Design (Ideal, will need rewriting to a more realistic picture)
• GUI Mock-ups
• Design Specs (v2)

ToDo (to allow implementation + GUI production to commence):

• Language Comparison
• Critical Comparison of other applications - GoogleDocs and Calendar, Oracle Calendar, maybe Outlook
• Architectural Design - to be typed up and extended
• Class Diagram
