22.02.2011 Roadmap
In the third meeting, unfortunately our mentor was not present due to backache so we started our meeting without him.
The goal of this meeting was mainly on deciding what we should do next and how much we have come so far. Everyone successfully had installed DropBox program and everyone had already finished the literature review. However after we talked, we found out that there are some deficiencies in our project.
1. Analysis of existing similar tools: There is only one existing similar project explained in our blog. So we were supposed to go and research whether we can find more existing similar project in which we can get inspired or fill any gaps that they may have.
2. Questionnaires: For our project we agreed to do both questionnaires and interview in which we have the opportunity to find out more about our users and their different needs. For now, we were supposed to think about possible questions and we agreed to work on the interview later.
3. Prototype: We also agreed on thinking about prototype and possible design layout that we think might be appropriate. Of course we have to wait till we have the result of questionnaire and what user think so we can have our requirements and use cases then we can have good prototype. However this prototype would be an abstract brainstorming on where we should put design components. Later in our interviews we will ask to see which design seems to be more appropriate.
4. On-going sections: There are some sections such as tutorials or news items which have an on-going nature and will be filled by information through our project life cycle.
These are all the tasks that we have to think about them for the next week.
After these introductory steps, we can start thinking about more technical aspects of project like UML, requirements and others.
