I haven’t been working on the project much the last few weeks, been doing a fair amount of getting out of doors while the weather is nice and soaking up some sunshine and a fair amount of beer.

In the last couple of days I was able to get the migration/deployment stuff figured out for the application which was the last piece that I wanted to have in place before I started pushing alpha builds to a public server. So I anticipate having a publicly accessible demo of the product within the next month or so.

The major pieces I am going to be working on next are :

1. Signup wizard : I need to have a way to guide new users into the creation of an account
2. Reports functionality : not terribly useful to capture all of the data if you can’t get some reports out
3. Roles/Groups/Users stuff : I have a working version of this but there are a few things that I want to polish before I start using this heavily in the site
4. Account/User preferences infrastructure

Not a lot of progress on the 11-05 challenge. I could probably make the case that I’m giving Mike a chance to catch up but that would indicate that I’m a nice guy. I’m not. I’ve been on various vacations and also took some time out to clean out my garage…so we’ll call it a break. I’m now done with my vacations and ready to dig in and get this thing finished. I don’t have a list of action items for this week. I’ll just get settled in and see where things are and return to my regularly scheduled “here’s what I’m gonna do” type of post for next week.
