Re: IS 480: Afterthoughts / Plans after todays presentation...

Maybe a class is not the solution, but just work on it a little, here
and a little there. An Open source project for the group.

There are a couple of reasons for this...

1. Trying to get a class organized may be a little difficult
2. Any IS major could work on the project.
3. This could a be good way to generate exposure and publicity for the
program to get a.) donors, b.) more talented people into the program,
c.) some name recognition for BYU-Idaho -- not just Provo.

If I remember right, we want to present it to the communications people
next Friday.  Before then, we need to do a couple of things.

Until further notice we can plan on next Friday.

1. Decide whether to use ThorCore or ThoRss.  If we go with ThorCore, the pubDate field needs to be fixed - and someone should probably check the code to make sure it is right (right now the pubDate field is a String rather than a Calendar Object).

I'm someone. :)  I'll fix the PubDate Regession. I'm also going to tack on the RSS generation direct to the DB just to get around to SOAP character encoding flaw.

3. Get a computer that we can access from the Kimball to run the components to the ThoRss system.

The room should have a computer. I'll double sheck with Brother Merv Brown regarding that.

Other thoughts / ideas
- Maybe we can make some screens of how it would look GUI-wise if they
were to integrate rss into my.byui.edu.  Next week's presentation is
not to backend people - just to people that care about presentation.

Great Idea. We could doctor a my.byui.edu shot to show how it could integrate.

Going around the SOAP sounds like the easy way out to me. Better be careful, you might just learn something. ;-)
