Team meeting- Week 10

As usual we met in the Neil Armstrong EPICS lab a around 3:30pm. Most part of the meeting we did coding for the site keeping in ind of the big picture that we have to accomplish. Jason told us a few interesting things that he accomplished. We discussed how the master page should look for people. We had some issued with it like, how should it look for a registered user and for some anonymous person.  We discussed how the master page should look like. We also spoke about what attributes should be considered for the primary key.
We came across one interesting problem and we a good fix for the problem.  The problem being what if there is only one user but they have many accounts under the user. I mean there is only one user account for the whole family but there are different user for all the members of the family. What if one of the family member changes his/her address, then there would be a problem because we will not be able to update the person who has changed. So we came up with a fix that makes our code very much flexible and also coder-friendly. We have a separate table  for the Account of these types. So if we implement it this way, if we just change the address in one particular table it automatically changes in other tables in the database as well. So it makes our platform code much more flexible to use and also to be used.  This involved a lot of team work, I mean we had to collect the views of all the other team members and then sort them to what we wanted. Even I have contributed a considerable amount of information in making this decision.
We have pretty much discussed some similar issues for the later part of the meeting.
That's pretty much it what we did this day.
