Transmission Project

The VISTA will work to develop NorthShorePort.org, an online database of resources to help those in poverty in the North Shore Port area.

GOALS:
add features
improve packaging
improve user friendliness
add infrastructure

An example of a new feature would be a report that lists the services that are not available in a given city.

We hope to have our software apt-get installable on Debian/Ubuntu Learning the Debian package system is a prerequisite for this goal

To achieve even better user friendliness, we do lots of usability testing. We watch people use our software, change things they are struggling with and re-test.

Infrastructure includes unit tests, integration tests, documentation, little utility scripts (like “clean”)
