Of Reflection and Growth

Well now that I've had time to think more about yesterdays meeting I've realised a few things. The criticism we received yesterday is actually a good thing. It shows us where they aren't picking up on the key points. Which means that we can now go away, talk to the people that are definatly up for using the VSC and pull together something that will blow them out the water!

So next on the agenda is to start to get together some content and putting up within the system. Then we can demo, in context, what we can do with it.

For the future we are going to be looking at a Visual Editor for the content. So basically it would be a static version of the site that you would use to navigate to the area (room) you wanted to add or edit content in. Then you will be able to edit text and upload vids, etc. We also want to look at making it dynamically build itself. So the users would choose where to build a room and then add content to it. When the site is loaded it would run through a system of checks that gives it the info it needs to build itself. Should make for a very interesting and fluid site. I wonder if we could get an award for it somewhere? haha. At the moment though our ideas are pretty bluesky so plenty of research is going to have to go into them!

But it's definatly going to be an exciting project to work on! And will probably take up alot of my time...
