Client meeting reaction and project log (week of 2/23)

Our client meeting went MUCH better this time, or at least it felt that way to me.  Since our last one, we did some soul searching and had some important conversations on design and implementation plans.  This time we also had documents to back up our story - we had a more complete user story with a website mockup from Sonny, Alan provided a detailed description of the graph search we intend to use, and I provided a comparison summary of the database systems I had researched.

Going forward, we are trying to make some skeletons and prototypes.  Alan is going to write his basic setup to perform greedy graph search on diagnostic charts with edge weights (as well as managing and updating those edge weights when solutions are reported by the user).  David is going to stand up two web frameworks, Django (Python) and Play (Java/Scala), so he can compare them.  Sonny is going to provide us a basic website like the one his mockup depicted.  Finally, I am going to stand up a remote MongoDB database and work with Alan on a schema for it which will play nicely with his component of the system.  The database will store diagnostic procedures and information about which causes from those procedures are the most likely (i.e. are reported most often).

I feel a bit better about the status of our project than I did last week.
