Rel v0

From Dreamfish


[edit] Rel v0 Project

Overview:

  • simple web-based personal networking system
  • keep track of all the people I know, and a little about them
  • keep track of which people I'm engaged in active conversation with
  • keep track of what each conversation is about, and what state it's in
  • open source license (which?)

    • or "fail successfully," and learn a significant amount to bootstrap the next project
  • explore development for mobile / developing world
  • connect with other developers for mobile / developing world

[edit] Tactics

  • use Symfony
  • use github (unless svn is lots better for Symfony)
  • create app from web out, so we can take advantage of web app knowledge/code as a foundation
  • host development environments on personal computers
  • deploy staging/test app to Earthtab server
  • TBD: Manju/Pete meeting venues, times, etc.
