Plans for Milestone #2

We were really productive with the first milestone for this project, therefore we are now ready to move on to the next. So far Joomla has been on the lead in terms of getting the things we need to work. But we aren't ready to give up on the other CMS' yet. For the next milestone, we will be shifting from just getting things to work with the CMS on to actually following a mockup to replicate a somewhat final product. This way, we might discover something about the other CMS that we didn't know from the first milestone.

As I mentioned, we will be following actual mockups now. Our approach will stay the same by trying to implement things the way the CMS wants to do it. It's quite difficult to force the CMS to do something for us first beginners. One of our main focus for the next coming weeks is to try and separate the content depending on what privilege the current user has. Our site will have three users, public, admin, and participant. Each different users will be able to access different contents. Some of these features are already present in my current Joomla mockup. It's not perfect yet so I have to clean it up. I will be focusing on how the admin account will be able to administer the site using the frontend tools instead of loggin on the backend. By the end of milestone 2, we are hoping to have a usable website for the competition. Stay tuned for more updates.
