Week 2 - Status Report

This week we worked on choosing our project and roles, and team formation. Created the team blog and began working on requirements gathering. The entire group worked on these tasks together and time spent was about 2 hours for each of us. Plans for next week work on Vision and Scope document and review new requirements checking for any points where we need clarification. This will be worked on by the entire team. Estimated time is between 3 to 4 hours for each of us. Potential problems: Our sponsor is in a different time zone so communication timing maybe difficult or responses maybe delayed.

reddit Meetup App

Team Name:
It's Friday

Team Lead: Karen
Communication Specialist: Randy
Team Scribe: Ziyi
Proofreader: Towhid

Project Synopsis

Description:
The site reddit.com is well known for having sub-communities that engage in an activity known as a “meetup”. A meetup is a gathering of users from various sub-communities to gather, get to know each other, and generally interact outside of the virtual space that reddit provides. Our goal is to design an application that will assist users in organizing these meetups, diligently and responsibly handle personal information, and allow users a means of documenting and sharing their experiences.

Motivation:
reddit is accessed by more than 170 million unique users each month. The potential exposure of this project is millions, and it serves a function to vastly improve the experience of various users during a routine activity that the site enables.
