Steve and I were talking about our general direction as a company and how we want to get where we are going. Good discussion. I was running updates that Wayne had passed over to me for updating database tables between servers. I helped Steve with a small Metrc package table update and pushed up some new code. While I was doing that, Steve and Alan were working on some new code that deals with looking up both adilas id numbers and Metrc id numbers. Lots of back and forth between the two systems. Metrc is a state compliance system that we have to integrate with for some of our clients.

Steve, Bryan, and I had a discussion about the adilas user group and when to launch some of that code. It currently exists, it is just somewhat hidden. We were talking about working with Wayne and his open id (open users) stuff. Eventually we would like to have all of the users held outside of the main corporations (a general user pool). Then, once we have that, we could then allow the users, in the open area... to vote on things, add new projects, and participate as they feel prompted.

Steve would love all of the users to login into their own area... Then we could allow them to jump into the virtual data sphere and either start working, participate in the adilas community (all kinds of stuff), sell their own skills (real users doing training on what they do best), buy stuff, request access to certain sites, get training, etc. Lots of good options.

Steve was talking about first impressions and helping to really help get some "wow's" and "that's cool". Steve wanted Bryan to start working on a timeline type page and/or report. Steve was talking about 4 main things that he would like in our virtual lobby - what are we working on, where do you want to work (what corps have granted you access), news and updates, and a virtual marketplace to allow you to offer your services (what are you good at). As far as the what are you good at (virtual job board), it would be super cool if we could show stats on what you have done in the system. For example: John Doe has 32,000 expense/receipts that he has made and 150,000 invoices and 10,000 uploaded photos and scans. Expand that idea, but just some ideas and such.

Bryan and Steve got in to talking about some cool timelines, CSS templates, Inspinia and bootstrap options, awesome look and feel, etc. We also talked about how to move open community projects (general pool) into the adilas community funded projects (projects that people could donate and/or help fund) and how that would work. It would be super cool to show and allow votes to be cast on what people want, projects to be planned and commissioned and assigned, and parties being able to help and fund things as they see a need and/or want to participate. Great ideas.
