The month was spent trading emails with Alex. It was a painstaking process. We settled on this development approach:
- modify an existing CMS (e.g. phpBB) – no point writing code if it already exists
- develop a ‘media module’ (API) to isolate the application logic from the CMS – can update CMS without rewriting whole application
- design custom template (i.e. HTML/CSS) – appearance is not constrained by CMS template
- create ‘modules’ for each feature – development steps are well defined
Watched an interesting TED lecture which, I think, relates to this application.
