Project Magnolia

As I mentioned a few days ago, Thea and I are starting a new project together. We'll be using PHP & MySQL on the backend and CSS, XHTML, & AJAX on the front end. Exact project goals have not yet been defined, however we already have a good idea what Magnolia will be: A retail store that allows easy category and item management, while providing the most common tools to serve customers. It would probably make more sense to make use of an open-source shopping cart, however we're both doing this as a learning process and to build project organization skills.

I've created a wiki for the project to help with documentation and development. You can check it out here. I've decided to make the wiki public, as I can't imagine there will be any confidential information added to it. Since the wiki is open to the public, feel free to add your own feature requests to the Feature Requests section of the wiki.

  1. cool. The one website looking for something like this, left the deciding part up to me on what to use. Seems like you 2 have a good start on things.

  2. “My Reviews” is the link to see the reviews you have submitted on certain items. There would also be a publicly accessible reviews section on each item that shows the reviews (if any) that people have submitted (like Amazon.com).

  3. The project has more or less been suspended. I moved to Cambridge, so now I’m not able to meet with Thea on Wednesday’s to work on the project. We’ll either have to start meeting together on the weekend, or try to correlate online. I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t bothered talking to him about it.
