When I first got on, Steve and Alan were going over some Metrc (state compliance) API socket questions and what not. They talked for quite a bit until Alan had to take his kids somewhere.

Later on, we were talking with Steve and Wayne about the login process and procedure. Steve would love to keep going with the data portal type analogy where a person comes to adilas and then logs in. At some point, they are able to enter the virtual data portal or data sphere. As part of that conversation, Steve would love to open up the entry point and almost make it their own (the user's) virtual landing spot (my own room or my space). What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? What does it look like? What is available to you? etc.

Wayne was talking about going to a more simple login for the entry point. Maybe just an email and password type authentication process. Even using a single login access type level (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Yahoo, etc.). As a future to do project, it sure would be cool if we could allow users to come into the virtual data portal or data sphere and let them set things up as a frontend entry point. Imagine a virtual lounge with some tables and chairs, pictures, etc. Get the people into a nice comfort level and then let them go from there. It would be cool if they could pull in quick numbers, graphs, charts, etc. - basically their own dashboard. Eventually, even their own features, functions, and options.

Steve was also talking about, in the future, allowing users to be more open and actually set themselves up as assets (teachers, trainers, consultants, or even workers). Allow them to use their own virtual home base entry point to be able to help others who need their help.

After that, Wayne and I got into some talks about how the adilas API sockets are setup. We talked about the different highways (virtual roads within the API socket connections) and what authentication was done for each of the different paths. We went in and did some drawings and even looked and code and database records. I showed some page samples (existing pages and flow) to give him the full idea of what goes where and how things play.
