Alright, after Sarah & Andy, Sarah & Slim, and Andy & Slim we now have a clipster that copies stuff into the filesystem and can paste stuff from a remote clipboard. I don't know if we'll really be able to get any UI stuff done. Given the state that we're in we really should focus on getting our scope covered. If we can get the multipart MIME encoding decoding done on Tuesday we should call it a wrap then and there.

Everyone, for tomorrow's meeting please come with your thoughts on the following points*
  1. how closely have we followed the XP principles for this project

  2. reflection on the 2nd project. What went right, and what went wrong.


* Those points will help you guys write your papers, anyway. So please come prepared. :)

What we'll tackle tomorrow at 9PM will be as follows:
  1. prepare presentation

    • draw up the overview of our architecture using our extreme flowchart

    • point out features list for the application

    • XP philosophies followed (show snippets of tasks, and stories)

    • write up points discussed in the above points to be handed out

  2. create installer using py2exe

  3. go over the script for the demo



Alright, I'll talk to you guys tomorr....er... tonight. :)

Sarahs' post ----

Last night's session was not a happy session :( We didn't see the problem with Reconstitute that was mentioned in the commments (it didn't freeze up), but beyond fixing a minor problem in the testSerialize we couldn't figure out how to massage it into the proper form. So, we went on to explore how to add stuff to the system tray icon, which led us through a maze of twisty examples, all different :p None of them, however, were especially helpful. I know someone who has built GUIs with python in the past (altho not with the dynwin stuff) but I will see if any of that looks interesting.
