The deadline was made for the presentation designing submission on 28th of August 2008.

The progress of the Interface designing team still remains the same. Today also I told Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. another way of inserting flash into the NetBeans and try out.

So the deadline for submitting the user interfaces (which are to be included in the prototype presentation) is set on 29th of August 2008.

Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. and Maliga V.V.N. went to meet Mr. Asitha to get some help to add the flash to the website in NetBeans. Also after about 30 minutes again Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. and Katangodage B.T. (I) went to meet him. Both the time he was not there at the seat. Also we two met Dr. Marikar to ask about what we should include in the presentation. He told us that he's not expecting the working prototype of the system and only a presentation of work which we did upto now should be done.

After that again I met Dr. Marikar to ask about the SRS which we shave to send the company. He told me that it will be handed over to us with a letter to be sent to the company by the mid of next week.

Ileperuma H.A. and Muthugala M.K.N.D. started working on the prototype presentaion. Ramanayake A.R.D.N.D. will not be able to do the prototype presenatation due to his sickness. So, I have to assign someone else for the prototype presenation on behalf of him.

Monday 25th of August 2008

The meeting was held among the members today evening.

Katangodage B.T.(I) discussed with the members about the future project work. I assigned Ileperuma H.A. as the In-Charge of the prototype presentation and asked him to handle everything related to the prototype.I  instructed him how to make the presentation.

Hettiarachchi P.S. and Maliga V.V.N. started to complete the forms which Hettiarachchi P.S. has designed. Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. showed me the home page which he has designed. But i did not accepted it because it did not have an attractive looking. So, he started designing a new home page under my instructions. But he left the place before he finish designing it and the login page.

So we were unable to add the home page and the login screen due to his delay. Hettiarachchi P.S. was able to submit the user forms only. So, I had to submit SRS without the Home page and login screen.

Ileperuma H.A. submitted the description which he wrote under the topic, Project documentation. I checked it and added to the SRS.

I finalised the SRS as soon as I can, and brought it to the Supervisor Mr. Azmeer. He checked it and pointed following mistakes and also he asked to update some descriptions with the following.

I (Katangodage B.T.) instructed the UML diagram design team and checked their work and also instructed Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. how the interfaces should look like and the attributes of them.

Until the evening, I could not get the final UML diagrams. So I asked Oshadi P.A.U. to send me them at night through e-mail.

I checked all the descriptions of the topics again in the night, which the members have written and submitted me to publish in the SRS. While I was checking the them, Oshadi P.A.U.sent me the activity diagrams one by one, and the class diagram.

I checked them all and wrote the mistakes and errors which should be corrected by 20th of August and I sent them to Oshadi P.A.U. to be corrected tomorrow before I come to SLIIT.

Hettiarachchi P.S. sent me some descriptions of the interface designs. I corrected the mistakes in each and every description of the SRS, re-wrote some descriptions, edited the descriptions and aligned the Text. I finished everything in the SRS other than Project documentation and User Interfaces.
