Minutes of meeting 05/02/2001 @ 2pm Location: UKC Computer Science Meeting Room Present: ajm4, pjm2, tdb1 Absent: ab11 Ash was absent from this meeting after oversleeping and not making it to campus on time. The group waited for around an hour before commencing the meeting anyway. Initial discussions were, as usual, about the progress of the systems. A lot of work had been done since the last meeting, some due to the design change in the database. Paul put extensive work into completely rewriting the DBReporting tools, and they now run considerably quicker. AJ made the frontend of the client display nearly all the data in a graphical form, and changed more stuff "under the hood". Tim implemented the local client structure, on both the server, and a dummy client. After feedback in the week from jc with regard to our database size, the group decided it was worth discussing his opinions. The group could understand the viewpoint, but stuck by the long standing decision to use XML formatting for the data. However, it was decided to look into compression techniques, and possibly removing some of the unneeded tags (using attributes?). The group noted that time was slowly running out, and expressed concern on the development of the host. Ash was absent and unable to comment. There were 3 weeks remaining until project week, and a lot to do. On the whole, the group were happy with the milestones at present, with some parts being further behind than planned, but others further ahead. There will be no meeting with Ian this week. The next group meeting will be on Monday.
