Project Presentation & Progress

I have been a bit confused about where to keep track of updates about project progress and have been using the wiki as the main source of communication. The current site address has been changed to:
Group Blog: http://gweather.blogspot.com/
However, I will continue updating this blog from now on just in case, since Dr. Hollan mentioned in class that it might still be a part of our grade.
Last week, we completed our project presentations. We were worried about changing our project proposal, since Patrick was so excited about the Del.ic.ious idea. However, we hoped to be convincing in that we found the gWeather project to be more personally interesting to our group members. We worked a lot on Photoshop-ing mockups of our initial prototype to provide an easy visualization for the audience. Another team member offered us advice about using the greasemonkey script to overlay our weather information on google calendar, which will be extremely useful; this will save a lot of time in not re-coding another calendar similar to google calendar. Since then, we have met and did the following:
1. Finalize Specifications, functionalities and test cases for gWeather
2. Played with some userscripts from greasemonkey (Thank you Dan for the advice!!!)
3. Discussed functionalities of gWeather
4. Created the Sidebar and Menus
5. Figured out the integration of "Weather Box" with "Event Box"
