Here are my thoughts: 1. OO 2. Design to be extended without taking out of upgrade path(pre & post processing steps) 3. Provide DLL's 4. XML in and out with appropriate XSD's 5. Sample HTML and/or XSLT with CSS that can be used as a base
Starting with someone elses data model is like starting coding without requirements. If we want to do this right, we need to start at the beginning. If we all chip in with the IC that we have this shouldn't take too much time to get through the documentation phase. At each stage, we create a forum for the individual parts, each of use signs up for those that they can contribute to, someone takes lead for each...We finish then move to the next step of the design. Continue until done, then move to Detailed Design. While Use Cases are being created, the Archeticts can start creating the framework within which detailed design and coding will operate within. Bottom line, this needs to be run like a large scale development project.
