Current Project Phase: Develop Prototype
Timeframe for current phase: Oct 1 - Oct 14
Tasks for current phase:
Develop working prototype based on feedback from meeting with PC
Conduct second meeting with PC to review prototype and gain feedback
Incorporate this feedback into final design specifications.


Next Phase: Development and Alpha Testing
Timeframe for next phase: Oct 15 - Nov 4


Notes: Basic functionality for the working prototype is probably 80% done at this point. I can save/load the user's desired ranks and topics, which means the only thing left on that is to be able to save/load all the details for each topic within each rank. After that will be the ability to view the whole thing at once and print it (will probably do that by having it output an HTML file and take advantage of the already-built-in handlers there), then add in the option to use icons for each rank/topic to help the user keep track as they're putting in all the details.

Of course, that means I need to not only write the icon-handling code, but include it in the file I/O routines, and acquire a reasonably-complete set of icons to use.

Oh, and I need to replace the default program icon -- what shows up on the user's desktop, etc. -- because the Microsoft Foundation Class icon just really doesn't do it for me. ::G::
