Actions, decisions, and to-do's:

To do's

...

• Oliver recommends Sam write Frank at the beginning of the summer (2014) to schedule mid-summer inaugural meeting.
• Frank to review with his staff clone of FileMakerPro DB from Student Services holding shadow copies of majors' courses completed, credit counts, and grades.

or Next steps:

• As of 8/19/14: Frank's group to discuss further, and follow up with Sam.

Actions and decisions made

8/19/14: Frank, Dani, and Tu spoke via 15 minute phone call with Oliver regarding his thoughts on the project.

• We reviewed clone of FMPro data fields.
• Discussed likely write-option for web app: None. All access would be read-only.
• New Web app would be analogous to Grades DB where source data maintained in FMPro DB, by Student Services. And viewing would be similar, too (student/ faculty/ staff views and with proper authority).
• In Web app, there would be no need for business logic since even the results of addition calculations would all be taken "as is" from source DB.

...

4/7/14: Oliver shared needs with MichaelL and FrankS. Decisions:

• Mid-summer 2014: A&S IT will start a discovery (scoping) conversation with CCB Student Services staff.
  • Please invite Oliver to this first meeting. Thank you!
• Depending on the actual scope of the project, and A&S IT staff availability, aim to complete project by ~Dec 2014.
• Frank to get a clone of the FileMakerPro DB.
  • Oliver arranged for Sam to send that to Frank.

To-do's, as of this time:

• Oliver recommends Sam write Frank at the beginning of the summer (2014) to schedule mid-summer inaugural meeting.
