I would write my own personal blog, but instead I am simply posting my Growth group upate

Today Bria, Justin, Lyndy and I had the opportunity to speak to Joe, who is constructing the web shell. The meeting was productive and I feel on a whole we are headed in the right direction. The web shell will be accessible through the Missourian website and will keep the Missourian website heading. Those of us that were present at the meeting had the opportunity to see a prototype for the future design of the Missourian website.

For our own project we will have six maps
The Arial and Annexation maps will be similar as they are animated and show time laps changes in growth in Columbia. The sewers and roads will be more stagnant, but people will have the choice to pick on certain pictures on the bottom of the map area to see previous map layouts of sewers or roads. The development and schools sections will be similar in that people will be able to roal ovr icons to get facts such as cost, population, etc.
Sean, Bria, or myself will try to gather the information on approved/built homes as we are gathering maps. Bria, Sean, and myself will hit the ground running by gathering the map information on Monday. Hopefully we will be able to gather numerous maps throughout the week, but we will have to see how this turns out.

There will be a meeting next Thursday with the web developer. We will be schedualing aroud Lyndy’s schedule as she is taking a major role as our design expert. Please make an effort to be at this meeting. Timing is still being sorts, but it looks like the meeting may be at 11 a.m. I will keep everyone updated.
