Notes:

Meeting between Chuck and Brandon. Steve joined us part way through. We were talking about current tasks and direction.

- Not really learning ColdFusion right now but more on helping to get the snow owl theme to the rest of adilas.

- Pages that Russell and Chuck are working on - classic homepage, payee permission home, add/edit user permissions, mange corp info, corp-wide settings and defaults

- We have purchased the project theme (bootstrap CSS theme). All of those resources are available and online. We were looking at more of the options that come with the preset theme that is already being used.

- The look and feel is so important and really helps to sell the system.

- We may need a way to prompt our users to upgrade to the newer look and feel. This was an idea by Chuck to help us prompt the users to upgrade. If they do upgrade, maybe we could help them by flipping some switches and even changing some of the settings. Make it easy to switch.

- Tying in the new classic homepage design to a user setting. We may need a toggle to switch between the new and old style and also some image controls. Chuck was saying maybe even a picture of the day. We also talked about picture categories and maybe letting them choose.

- Looking at different online resources - get those from Chuck - He had a number of sites that offer free and awesome images and pictures.

- We talked about different levels of control. Do we allow it at a per corp level, then a per user level? Etc. If we bring something forward, we will quickly get requests for more control and more options.

- We are thinking of trying it on a few of our other homepages. We have like 5-10 homepage that this could work on. Talking about a fun changing background image.

- Flipping over to the campground project, we talked about sub dividing it into small pieces and who is going to do what. We may kick some of it over to Marisa to let us know what is the most needed pieces. Trying to shorten the development cycle and get it out to be used quicker.

- For our next meeting - lets get 5 categories of photos (space, mountains, general scenery, ocean, animals), 10 photos per category, figure out the main icons, vertical tabs in the bootstrap theme.

See attached for some screenshots. Some of the screenshots are dealing with possible mock-ups and internal pages and options.
