A lot of this week was talking about different aspects of the project and what came with them. The requirements were mostly already gone over in our previous meeting. Unfortunately, the intern who previously worked on this project was out of office, meaning we could not get good in depth requirements for what we were specifically supposed to do. Luckily, a lot of conclusions can be drawn based on the github code provided. We have created our own requirements that we think should be done along with the project. For example, refactoring the code base would a good idea. A lot of the program is developed into individual scripts that are handled independently. We believe it would be a good idea to merge all of these individual pieces so that we could run them from one main file.
We also had to take our time to designate tasks between us. It was especially difficult as attempting to split parts of the project up can lead to carryover between work. Sometimes a project member may have nothing to do because sections of the project he needs to work on are currently being held back by someone else. We managed to get something cohesive between the three of us, but we have not yet managed to contact our other two team members. I am not surprised, as they had very short notice of our meeting to discuss these things. This is something that we as a group work on in the future.
As for the project itself, we may be re-writing sections of it in c++, as the client has requested we port some of it over into an API that is handled in C++. Most of the ideas we have come up with needs to run by the client themselves, but I think our team has a good grasp on where we need to go next.
