Acropolis { Website Management Software }

Travis and I worked until about 10pm last night completing our goals for AqueduX.  That was the end of an approximately 14 hour day for each of us.  This morning I woke up at 5:00am to put some finishing touches on our demo, only to find several bugs that had passed noticed.  I didn’t even have time to grab a cup of coffee until past 7:00, which is when Spencer came to pick me up for our drive to New Orleans.

I am certainly glad of one thing–the demo passed and we demonstrated all four of our objectives without a single bug raising its antennae.  Our four goals were as follows:

1. To be able to edit/update a row (row of an HTML table, corresponding to the row of a database table.)
2. To be able to edit/update an element of a SELECT list.
3. To be able to move items between two associated elements.
4. To be able to move between pages and execute a simple key term search.

I believe that our presentation was good, although I think it may have come across as overly complex or technical.  Part of this is due to the fact that we were up against the wire until the last moment, and I was still fixing bugs when I should have been filling out index cards.  But the other part of this is simply that the nature of our project is technical.

However we did manage to talk with a couple of folks afterwords who seem to have some interest in continuing to work with us on AqueduX as an open source project.

So, if you were present at the presentation, or if you read about it online, and are interested in working with us to further (or just want to know more!) please let us know.  Also, we are hoping to be able to post a screencast in the next couple of days.
