Sprint 1 Progress
Known Bugs Improper page display on orientation change. Sticky notes do not scroll appropriately with page content. Page turning on finger drag sometimes not as responsive as we’d like.
What’s Next? Sprint 1 isn’t scheduled to end until March 20. Sprint 2 involves implementing networking capabilities for user feedback, downloading new content, and note-sharing. March 21 – April 3 (Tentative). Beta release tentatively scheduled for Monday, April 4.
Project Demo - Omitted Evaluation of user interface is an integral part of our acceptance/usability testing. We’d prefer to distribute the Beta and identify shortcomings in the interface via user feedback without prior demonstration. Beta will likely include a “how-to” sample textbook. Let product speak for itself.
