Schedule and Road Map

Unify the User Interface Design

• Development of the user interface was done in parallel, so the parts need to be made to adhere to a single theme.

Merge The Source Code

• Development of the server was also done in parallel. So the code from each developer needs to be merged.

Public User Features Need to Materialize

• The ability for the public to have a role in the system was a customer requirement.

• This "public" user does not have "creator" rights, but does make contributions distinct from news staff.

• Care needs to be taken so that the public cannot overload the system with junk submissions.

Integrate Subversion Management System

• Some planning and testing is necessary to determine how best to get the Subversion featured seamlessly and invisibly added.

• The use of Subversion should not be prominent to the end users; it should just work, providing a simple history mechanism.

Implement RSS Feed Capability

• The integration of RSS should provide a basic service, yet while maintaining security (by not serving private information).

Testing of the System

• The client code needs to be tested on different platforms (browsers).

• The application needs to be thoroughly tested to identify hidden bugs that show up as the system is subjected to stress or long term operation.

• There also needs to be some assurance that the integrity of the data is maintained over time and after many updates.
