Project Status Update

[draconis]

Received initial feedback from alpha testers, one piece of which unfortunately resulted in a total re-write of the program up to that point. Definitely a setback, but at least I was able to mostly copy things from the initial version to the replacement.

Incorporated other fixes and several suggestions from alpha testers.

Wrote test document for alpha testers -- 12 pages? Yikes! Fortunately, even at that length, it is a quick process. QA/Beta testers, don't panic! ;-)

Wrote user documentation. I should probably be worried that my user documentation is only 3 pages long but my tester documentation is 4 times that, huh? Well, the user doc is 3 pages of text, which expands to 6 pages once I add in screenshots, but still....

Sent formal Progress Report to professor, detailing accomplishments so far and remaining steps.

Once my Alpha Testers have sent me this round of feedback, that phase will be closed and I move on to QA Testing. saxononyx, I should have something for you in a couple of days.

As always, my heartfelt thanks to gryphonrhi and alysswolf, for more things than I could begin to list here.

Dragon, I'm still up for the third round, right? Can you arrange it so that I can do the work over a weekend?

There has been much panic here as Two Oaks - my mom fell a couple of weeks ago and we found out in the aftermath that she'd had at least one "silent" stroke and then there is the current one that has left her with some impairment on the left side = not good for a violinist! But she's in rehab now and doing quite well. Therapists are cautiously optimistic for a recovery that will continue to allow her to live independently. The woman is 86 and just now taking perscription meds for a chronic condition for the first time in her life!

Needless to say, the pace of my life has picked up a bit again LOL. But I'm still good to go on your project. (You can let Rhi know my news, please.)

Weekend will be no problem, I promise!

Sorry to hear life decided to pick on you -- is there anything we can do? And please give your mom our best wishes!
