Notes:

When I got on the morning meeting. Steve and Dustin were talking about their projects and times that they could meet up and work together. They have become a great little team. That makes me really happy. Below are some notes between Steve and I. We were talking about some upcoming meetings with both Russell Moore and Jonathan Wells. Both are designers and graphics guys.

- Graphical homepages (graphical mini dashboard per main 12 player groups), custom dashboard with little widgets that could be moved around and configured per user, mix and match pallet (mini windows - movable and dockable)

- We would like to look into what it would take to build on a JavaScript framework. There are multiple frameworks out there, what does that mean, what does that look like, and how are the pieces managed between the different systems? Lots of questions.

- Projects for Russell - He could work his magic on the corp-wide settings page, 3rd party solutions page, help out Alan with the invoice due date project, and help us get more data tables in place and integrated into the system.

- Getting help from Russell on some of the snow owl theme settings for some of the older AFB headers and such. There are a number of knowns spots. One is the adilas community funded project, the snow owl theme settings, the ecommerce settings, the custom email settings.

- Looking at resources and what do we want to spend on what and how quickly could those expenditures turn around and produce some results.

- We talked about consolidating our ideas and projects, using the adilas community funded projects page, report, and section. We could used it for project management, reports, progress, and a centralized location or hub for developers, clients, reps/consultants, and others. One spot will all of the updates and progress.

- There will always be ongoing development, product refinement, and what is coming (future). The system keeps morphing out in front of us. Sometimes that is hard to predict.

- Help prepare our users for impact - this is a huge system with tons of branching options and paths.

- Keep working with Jonathan on putting together a list of what adilas can do - whitepaper/graphic/map - Getting it all organized - a virtual road map - big dumb animal pictures - this would help so much with sales.

- Helping Jonathan get more system training from myself, Shannon, and Steve. The more training that he gets, the more he will be able to start pulling all of the pieces together. We would like to keep him on the education and sales side of the equation.

- Permissions homepage and how we simplify that - currently, it is kind of a monster or as my dad says - a football field of permissions.

- Mapping out the system functions and what is available. Steve wants a map the adilas world - what do we have and how is it organized - scroll as needed - zoom in/out - etc. Use this as a training and sales tool.

- As we were talking about mapping, we jumped into some of the existing adilas maps and navigation interfaces. We talked about the adilas interactive map (vintage around 2010 ish), the GPS core interface (vintage around 2013 ish), and helping to bring that dream to life. On the newest version of the GPS core graphic, we have included some sub navigation dealing with permissions, settings, training, etc. For the record, currently, that graphic is just a small mock-up of what it could be. The real intent was to use that core interface to interact with different app modes. They could be things like data/work mode (what do you have), permissions mode (who gets to play), settings mode (how does it work or function), training mode (what can I do), usage/stats mode (show me what I've got). Anyways, some cool ideas already exist. Maybe help Jonathan keep going in that direction.

- Use the map and be able to show what new trails are coming. Steve would also love to tie the upcoming pieces out to the adilas community funded projects to help with eduction, funding resources, progress, and a centralized hub for all of our projects.

After our meeting, I spent some going over emails, recording notes, and getting caught up. Today is Monday, back at it again. Part of my process this morning was recording some notes from a couple of meetings we had on Friday. Lots of moving pieces. I'm so grateful for pen and paper and being able to scribble things down quickly and then fill things in later with all of the details. If it weren't for paper and pen, I wouldn't be able to remember enough to fill in the gaps. Great little tools.
