Milestone 1

MILESTONE UNE :

** Conceptually Speaking
** Gantt
** Design Design Design
** Template
** Current Workings
** Soon To Be


CONCEPTUALLY SPEAKING :


+ Idea to somehow work outside of the web maybe using the rock idea
+ Cemetery 2.0 : Project that links deceased people's grave sites to online memorials, much like myspace is currently doing, but great project because it links people's memories together, and though those places will never move, there is a strong connection to that part of the land.

Currently Working On

+ Finding Programmers : ( THIS WEEK )

LOOKING FOR Programmers. How about being part of something huge, LIKE A CAPSTONE PROJECT, and get credit to do so? I am looking for some talented programmers, maybe just one if you got what it takes. The online portion of my project is going to need some PHP coding. My project is an online mapping system to link people to places and memories. The goal of the project is to create an awareness of digital saturation and connect our memories and experiences of the outside world with each other when we are online. As far as Design goes, I have that down, and some DHTML, so I need maybe some advanced DHTML knowledge, as well as PHP knowledge.

WHAT I NEED OUT OF PHP :
* User Accounts
* Database to link with DHTML for images
* Uploading abilities

WHAT I NEED OUT OF DHTML :
* Link with the PHP for dynamic loading of uploaded images using dynamic objects.

If you are interested please e-mail me at matthew.leavitt@umit.maine.edu . Then we can discuss credit compensation, I can explain more about the project, and we can get coding!

Designing - * Logo
* Tightening Site Design (only first version)


SOON TO BE :

For my next milestone my expectations are :

*Have Programmers
*Have the first site designs done and starting to integrate code
*Have concepts about outside of web panned out
