Minutes of meeting 09/03/2001 @ 2pm
Location: UKC Computer Science Meeting Room

Present: ab11, ajm4, pjm2, tdb1

This was a consice meeting to discuss the way forward over
the next two weeks, specifically with regard to
documentation.

Initially, AJ stated that both he and Tim had put a freeze
on the Server and Client development, such that more time
could be spent on documentation. There were still a few
small issues that needed sorting, and of course bug fixes.

Tim discussed the problems with the server, although neither
he or anyone else really knew what was wrong with it. It was
clear a memory leak existed, but where and how remained a
mystery.

The main part of the meeting revolved around planning the
documentation strategy. A list was put together of all the
documents the group needed to produce. This list can be seen
here;

Each group member should tackle any documents they feel they 
know best, and then the remaining documents will just been 
done by anyone. A template document, in word format, had 
been produced, and should be used for all documentation. A 
specification for documentation can be seen here;

It should be pointed out that Word format was chosen for 
because it allowed documents to be produced quickly. If time 
permitted more effort might have been taken to make 
documents more easily "transferable" to the web.

All documentation should be completed at the latest by the 
Friday before the deadline. This leaves almost a week to 
print and collate everything.

There will be a meeting on Monday at 2.15pm as usual, and 
one on Wednesday with Ian at 2.15pm.
