Milestone Status: Gains made (If possible, include hyperlinks to what you mention here.)

My milestone can be found here: Link
I fixed several bugs and made search usable in WYSIWYG editor.

Milestone Status: Obstacles Encountered

The WYSIWYG editor is tough since the script has at least 8000 lines and I have no idea why the WYSIWYG editor cannot find the textarea's name even if it is initialized with the name.
Loading content with AJAX after saving is also hard since the content and editor are placed in different controls.

Milestone Status: Proposed Solutions

I need to do some investigation about what will the editor do after user submit the content.
I'm considering load the content again when the active tab of tab container is changed.

Development Process: What seems to be working and why?


Most teams don't have too much stuff left except the UI team. Now we have more people working on UI.

Development Process:  What does not seem to be working and why?

This week besides fixing the bugs I was working on cool features of WYSIWYG editor, but I'm not sure whether we should make everything usable first. Have you brought this up to your team leaders and asked if there is anything more pressing?
Everyone was busy in the past week so we didn't have too much to show to the customer. See other journals (like Felipe's) for how to plan for these busy weeks in the future.

Development Process: Proposals for change--issues addressed and why the change will help.

I will ask for more tasks for the coming week. The thanksgiving break may help us to make more progress. At the same time, only 3 people will be in town for Thanksgiving, and everyone will be stuffing themselves silly, watching football, and shopping with the mad crowds. It's not safe to assume a lot of work will get done, so it needs to be seriously planned for in advance.

Peer review:  Positive or negative feedback for other class members

 

Additional Comments

The development process sections are a bit sparse and scattered, given all that happened this week. --Chelsea
