This Month's Accomplishments

- Completed planning the changes to the events home page.
  Passed a mockup of the screen to the usability team.
  Feedback was positive.

- Created mockups for the redesigned "group management"
  process.

- Created draft project plan for the "1.5" enhancements. 
  The plan tentatively suggests that the enhancements will
  be complete during the summer term.

- Summary of the 1.5 enhancements:

    * Modify home page (includes increased font sizes, 
      change to traditional grid-style calendar display)
    * Increase fonts on menu bar throughout calendar.
    * Change the group management process to make things
      easier for both users and system administrators.
    * Add a "preview" feature to the event edit function.
    * Add "next day" and "previous day" navigation links to
      the "today's events" screen.
    * Create a text-only version of the manage events page 
      so that users with text browsers can use this function 
      more easily.

Next Month's Plans

- Present the planned enhancements to Kathryn Willmore, the
  project sponsor and the system administrators (aka Calendar
  Coordinators) for their approval.

Issues

- None this month.
