  • After discussions with Neil Taylor contact with cat protection over their current process should not require an ethics form however discussion with specific individuals must be conducted after an ethics form has been looked at

Supervisor Meeting 29/01/2020:

Definition of Requirements:

  • Lightweight agile methodologies: Scrumban
    • From Scrum utilizing 2 Week Sprints
      • 1 Week is too short for significant changes
      • 1 Month is too long for a turn around to be useful to the customer
    • From Kanban using the Kanban boards
    • Scrum and Kanban based regular review process at the end of the sprints
  • Discussion of the use of fosterers
    • Still undecided
  • User Types
    • User - Organize visits for checking houses, view available cats and save favorites.
    • Fosterer - If implemented will hide their personal information before a user has been given permission to see this information (Potentially requiring admin approval)
    • Admin Account - Must Approve cat listings, 2nd App? for admin duties, Proper process must be defined first before being implemented
  • Look for a defined process from adoption charities - Cat Protection as an example
  • Internationalization:
    • Discussed use of Welsh as a potential other language
    • Other Latin based languages that read left to right are ideal
    • Chinese and other right to left languages ruled out
  • Map for locations of centers and fosterers?
    • Google maps costs and requires a private API key with a chance of leaking information, Actual cost to developer should be nothing as plenty of free credit for a new dev project is given.
    • Open maps does not cost money ever to my understanding, and I find that it has a Kotlin and Java API
  • Material Design slated as main design guidelines
  • Backend server details discussed, probably SQL based on Room architecture for the app. Maybe Firebase?
    • Must include evidenced support for migrations
  • Follow up via Vaccinations and cat protection. Support specific cat records.
  • Create a draft project outline by next meeting
