Another spoke in our wheel...

Hello friends,

I am here again with something new going on in our project. Today, we got an insight about how the details of our project should be differentiated and covered in Wiki, Blog and our group's mailing list. We have also been told about the deadlines which we have to meet to complete our project by 28th Feb 07. For the cause of simplicity and proper actions, we have been divided into 4 modules with one lead and two members each.
Overall, the aim of each one of us in our team is to complete our project successfully by the due date. We hope to cooperate with each other and work hard together to bring our dream and venture come true.

Regards
Meenakshi Baiswar

This project has occupied our minds and lives!

The first beta release of the mydearbooks website is to be launched on February 28, 2007. There are very few days remained. To complete this target we are planning our deadlines weekly. We have to work rigourously on the project to meet this. No doubt, there is pressure but, in my opinion this is an oppurtunity to learn lots of things.

For coming 22 days, we have to work passionately, help each other, be consistent and prompt. Whatever...to complete this project well in time is the only goal !

The best part is we have to perform under pressure.

We are re-grouped in a team of four groups, with three members per group. Including me there are three other memebers (Rajiv, Vaibhav and Virendra) of our team who are announced module leaders today.

I am really happy for this. But, being module leader means more responsibility. That is, to complete my module in all respect is my responsibility.

Again, only completing my module perfrectly is not going to serve our final goal, which is to launch the first beta release of mydearbooks website. If we miss it, it would be failure of our team as a whole.

I feel, our final goal has oriented all of us in just one direction. We have started sharing our difficulties, views due to this project. I am sure, we are going to make it.

Each and everyone of us is looking forward to complete all work. Dividing modules is just to manage scope of work efficiently. Otherwise, to complete every piece is the responsibilty of every team member.

I wish mydearbooks team, all the very best !

Mock site

For mydearbooks site we began with creating a mock site. Initially Tushar sir explained us about the concept. We all started giving our ideas, then sir asked us to express them in simple HTML pages. He divided the job modulewise among us. We developed what we could. Believe me making a mock site is not a mockery. When the mock site was complete we began getting insight of this site.

Some finer aspects...

Hello friends!

On submission of the Mock Site yesterday, we came to know about some of the finer aspects of project details submission. One important factor was Release Note, which should consist of the known issues with submission. It shows maturity and understanding from the point of view of the project team that the team is in knowledge of the small bugs in the project, which can be fixed later.

There were few pages in our site which were unavailable on clicking the links. This gap was to be filled today and we are almost done on it by now. Today, we also got an introduction of Cascaded Style Sheets, which will be used for restructuring our website later on. This is how, we are progressing with small steps towards our bigger goal...
