Yesterday we met to finalize our presentation. We finished adding in information about the competition and some statistics on the decline of educational performance in America (related to the need for our Intellectual challenges). I also made a few changes to the CSS for the homepage, reducing the height of the footer so that it was not overly large in comparison with other elements on the page. Additionally, Matt S. noticed that the "Abandon" button (allowing the user to abandon a challenge) was disabled when the check-in button was disabled. This was because, originally, this button was meant to be the "Fail" button but we found that this really didn't serve a purpose in our application so we changed it to "Abandon." Given the new context of the button, the user should be allowed to abandon a challenge whenever they want, so the disabling was removed.
Fernando suggested integrating a FAQ into the website, which he created a Google doc for. I think this is a good idea since having a quick reference guide for the user can be quite helpful for improving the overall user experience. I have been adding to it (as have Fernando, Matt S., and Matt F.) so hopefully we can get this integrated into the website this week.
Over the next couple of weekends, we will probably meet to run through the presentation so that it is smoother than last time and so that we can work through any bugs (such as the Facebook fiasco during our last presentation). I do hope that we can get access to the room where our final presentation will be held prior to May 13th since this would be very helpful for making sure the presentation goes as smoothly as possible.
Regarding marketing, I have been posting to my Facebook page via Demigod, so maybe it will entice someone to check it out before our final demo. I also plan to giving the link to a few friends and family over the next few weeks so they can try it out. It might also be a good idea to post up a few flyers around campus...you never know who may bite!
