It's Monday. Josh, Dustin, Steve, and I were on the morning meeting. Josh checked in and we set up some time to work on merging in his discount engine stuff. We added some new permissions and created a new help file for him to populate. We are hoping to get all of his code rounded up and populated within the next couple of days. Good stuff.

Steve's summary from January - Mrs. Shari O. needs some help. We've got that going and Pat will be helping out. We need to make it easy, pretty, and powerful. Steve would like to circle back around and then we need to do some look and feel stuff (make it look pretty). We will keep building out the functionality but we really need it to look nice and appear more simple. If we can get the current model, more spiffy (nice looking), we can really wind some things up. It is a very abundant model. The future of SaaS (software as a service) is customization. People want to start very simple and slick but as they go, they start looking for more functionality and eventually really want it to be their way (custom code and customization).

What do people do the most inside our system? We can pull in stats from all of the servers and then look at them (the stats) side by side. We could then have Russell go in and help us with some cool look and feel on the top 10 pages. Once that is done, we could keep drilling in deeper and deeper.

Alan popped in and gave us a report. Steve and I were working on different projects. I'm working on checking in code that Will did for a thing called transitional PO's. The new PO type is between an order/request (not tied to inventory) and a live PO (fully tied to inventory and payables). The new transitional PO's allow for pre-payments (assets or pre-payments on inventory) and will be tracked on the balance sheet differently. The project has about 22 pages in it. Just going through and checking out code and adding my own flair to it.
