Thorough thought is given to core features and areas for future expansion.

Code empty/demo app

Test various proofs of concept to ensure all methods are/will be possible, reasonable and stable

Make small releases to demonstrate these basic models

Revise directives for *
deviantSEARCH.
Resolved: project will continue as planned and will include the addition of a stock/resource search function.
Revise devSEARCH database to handle more fields such as # pageviews and account type (user, plz, etc) rather than just 3 fields for username, key words and description. Revise PHP code to reflect these changes and return the correct fields in response to queries.

Ensure Flash app is compatible with the new database design

Hook up rewards, avatar, and account type image displays in the Results Tab. Ensure animation of gif avatars works correctly

Ensure other display options are hooked up correctly like # pageviews, # deviations, account category, etc

Create Credits page within app

Work with ~
tharglet to get notes processed correctly

Construct Java program structure for handling notes and managing the database. Ensure notes are read & processed flawlessly.

Read notes complete (temporary, using a screen scraping method currently)

Process notes (can only process ADD notes, but currently all ADD notes have been processed

)

Edit the Database (can only add users with <user name, description, key words> currently -- no remove, edit, club, plz, etc note processing yet) -- **problems with <
br/> line break

Sending notes (Currently 8/11/09 being field tested -- Sending replies to ADD notes)

Watching users (currently 8/11/09 being field tested)

Faving deviations

Thoroughly review devSEARCH journals, correct grammar/spelling, ensure clarity

PHASE 1 Complete: Initial release

Ensure core functions are stable

Finalize stock/resource mock-up for pop-up search options in Flash app

Set up resource/stock search pop-up window within Flash app.

Write guidelines for adding stock accounts in devSEARCH journal

Ensure accounts are added correctly through notes. Ensure results are returned correctly for relevant searches (make sure check boxes work)

PHASE 2 Complete: Secondary release

Ensure stable release

Work on List display option. Ensure user interface is clean in Results Tab

Work on database interface: obtaining users through use, a self-expanding database (implement 'Update Database', 'More Precise' Sort Options). Work on random users being added/updated while search is not being actively used.

Consider phasing out clubSEARCH. All functions of clubSEARCH will be incorporated into devSEARCH by this point.

Work on implementing Multiple Tab

Write CSS for *
deviantSEARCH journals

PHASE 3 Complete: Standard search release

Consider adding in html support for :dev: tags and [link]s in descriptions

Consider database optimization if lag is noticeable

Consider breaking down results in sets of 50 to 100 if user-load is too large (20GB monthly max transfer rate needs to be considered -- currently using 3GB for clubSEARCH which has 16K users compared to upto2 million for devSEARCH).

If storage space becomes a problem, reduce unnecessary storage by compressing user info, may minutely decrease performance.

Ensure all bases are covered, all reasonable suggestions are considered/implemented, and app is stable

Implement additional search features like 'NOT' and 'OR' that mirror dA's search functionality

PHASE 4 Complete: Final Release
