Presentations

On 24/05 every group gave presentations about their apps.
You can find our presentation on http://www.slideshare.net/BartGerard/dataminer-presentation-2011-0524-v03 The movie that shows how our application works can be found on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ftsxCp-Mq0

What did we think about other groups?
Chi-Leaders
+ The new interface is much better
- Is there a way to only find articles your friends edited? If it is there, it is well hidden.


Team Geek
+ The application looks good
+ The application works smoothly
+ Finding news of a certain place is very easy this way.
- What is the value of old news? Is the timeline being used often, or are people mostly using the map?


Chimera
- There is no information anywhere in the application, or it can't be found easily if it's already there.
- Aren't users being encouraged to write junk if they receive points per posted question and not based on how good the question is?
- Why is there no highscore? This would probably make users come back more often.


Schi is the limit
+ The application looks good, which is good to attract users
+ Finding news of a certain place is very easy this way.


Team SuCHI
+ The game is fun to play
- Too bad we have to battle often against the dummy
+ But a dummy is better than not being able to play the game because there is no opponent.


The CHIli peppers
+ The game is very competitive, which makes users come back
+ Up-to-date questions


Team musiCHI
+ Stand alone app could be used everyone, even those who hate social networks.
- Why make it a downloadable app? We think this scares some users away.
- Not usable by everyone because .NET was used.
+ Achievements will make users come back (we hope you'll get more)


SachiniNews
+ Badges are a good way to make users return
- about the presentation, not the app: the graphs were very unclear
+/- Lots of functionality. This can be good, as users have lots to do and stay longer, but also bad, since it can get complicated.
- Interface doesn't look that good

Updated planning

Since we have more work with the implementation than we first expected, we adjusted our planning.


24/04 – 09/05
We add the badges at the start of this iteration and let the application run on facebook. We use the time to continue developing the non-core functionality. We will also make the icons clearer, like asked by users.
If there is time for it, we will add google analitics, otherwise it is for the next iteration.

Week of 09/05:
During the course of this week we will gather and interpret the feedback from our first 'real' release on facebook. We will improve our core-functionality based on this feedback and add the extra functionality. We will then release the application a second time on facebook.

Week of 16/05:
We will review the release, improve, and release a final time.

20/05 and further:
We will use this week to work on our final report as well as interpret the feedback from our final release.
