- a migration of tordesign -> stwweb1 is schedualed.
- CDLG barcode problem finally fixed.
- First lab (zero) done in csc258, homework assignment almost due.
SSG and CDLG:
- the barcode problems have been extended, up until now. It seems that manufacturing could not decide wheater IP or 07 would mark each barcode, on the entitled software branch of CDLG. In the end, all entitled software CDs will begin with 07. The code is now complete, and will be launched later tonight.
- SSG and CDLG help files are being upgraded, to reflect the new changes seen in the products.
- the budget this year for CDLG and SSG is about 2 – 4oo hours.
- A major issue right now is scrolling and scalability issues for each of the mock up pages. We are discussing a number of alternatives to these issues; its becoming quite conveluted. Hopefully, our meeting tomorrow will make all of this more clear.
- another area which was problematic (but now solved) was the organization of the 19+ pages. Many of the pages had repeating content (header framework, package explorer). To solve this, simple iframe reloading with external .html pages seems to be the best option.
- a large portion of time was also spend just organizing this project. Such time seems to be well spent; this project could easily spiral into chaos if not delegated/organized correctly.UIGR:
- unfortunatley, not much FLEX work has been done. I am bogged down in other projects at the moment. Perhaps, I will get a chance to learn more FLEX at a later date. Perhaps I should delegate some more work to Jason…

- a new student has started in MDS. I spent some time getting him started in the department.
- In additon to my projects, I am also taking CSC258.
SSG and CDLG:
- Bar codes: The barcode outputting fails, because ** and ip/07 are added twice in the code. This has been repaired, but the multi – CD stream causes an error because of the hash table.
SSG and CDLG:
- code minimization and optimization.
| - error reporting must be better.
- clean up single.jsp
Eclipse UI Project:
- the Eclipse team at IBM has a new experimental project that will be showcased at ECLIPSECON in late march. They are proposing a light weight version of eclipse – online. This is not software of a service, but a simple online RIA that allows one to make basic projects – it will emulate the core of eclispe without all the plug ins extras. I have been asked to do the UI for the moch up. If I do a good enough job, the moch up UI could very well be used for the final product 
.
UIGR:
- UIGR in MDS needs to be updated. We are considering mySQL for the database, and adopting ADOBE FLEX for a redesign of the UI. However adobe supports coldfusion; so a switch to mySQL may be unecessary.
