Requirements - Meetings

Ok, now that the holiday weekend is over, I guess I should get back to this project. BTW, if I haven't mentioned this before, our goal (myself, Nathan Mische, Vadim Chernets, and Mike Milnes) is to have this up and running version 1.0 by February 10th. Anyways, last time out I blogged about the requirements for membership in the User Group site. Membership was a natural place to start because without members, there is no user group. For the rest of the posts, we will focus on Meetings, Presentations, Other Categorized Items, and Administration. This post focuses on the Meeting item and its specifications:

• Meetings shall be comprised of:
  • Date
  • Time
  • Title
  • Free area for further details including location
• Only administrators should be able to edit and create new Meetings.
• The Meeting details area shall be edital through a Rich Text editor
• The next Meeting scheduled shall be prominently displayed in the common area of the layout of the user group site.
• Members shall be able to register for Meetings providing only their First Name, Last Name and email address according to the requirements of Members discussed in the last post.
• The administrators shall be able to view a report of who registered for the meeting
• The administrators shall be able to add/edit Presentations on a Meeting in which the display will show the presentation (further requirements for Presentations in the next blog post)
• EDIT: An area within the User Group site shall exist for the listing of all meetings conducted by the User Group

I orginally had a separate item for Location, but I think providing the administrator the flexibility to add that type of information to the free text area is easier on storage and maintainability of the site, which is our ultimate goal.
