Marisa, Chuck, Cory, Steve, Sean, and myself were all on a meeting to get back into the WanderWays project. The primary focus was dealing with online scheduling of campsites, trailer/RV sites, cabins and what not. We already have a bunch of work done on the backend WanderWays tool (camp adilas project). We also have a ton of the frontend advertising website done. This next phase is dealing with an ecommerce or customer facing frontend tool. It will combine company websites, online reservations and bookings, ecommerce, and other frontend or front facing web stuff.

Chuck and Marisa were leading out on this project. That is great. Sean was new to this topic, so we did some introductions. Here are some random notes that I took:

- Using iFrames to embed the native sites into outside company web sites

- Chuck has a vision of what he is trying to build and make. We support that vision. Marisa is the inside person who has the knowledge in that area.

- Lots of talk about frontend set-up and customer type settings. We want to make a general tool that could be skinned and/or configured for certain industries. We just mentioned a few... think about auto shops, maintenance things, campgrounds, RV/trailer sites, cabin rentals, ski schools, rafting companies, adventure trips, sport lessons, etc.

- Going back to camping and campgrounds, being able to pick a site vs assigning sites on the fly - different companies like to do it differently - also some like to limit what the customer frontend or front facing app does vs the backend tools. That sounds like settings.

- Lots of talk about being able to shuffle things around. Including invoices, elements of time, locations, payments, and other relationships. Once we have all of the data, we need to be able to shift or shuffle things around.

- Marisa and Chuck are going to make up a number of scenarios and then go through the different options together.

- Dealing with the waiting lists and/or virtual queue type functionality. We need to detail out the waiting list functionality in a deeper way.

- We linked to some of the older notes - click here for details - dealing with rough numbers and budgets.

- Talking about funding sources and making a good and solid product. There was also some talk about making an MVP (minimal viable product) and/or an MVP+ (plus or slightly above a minimal)

- Treating the development and developers and founders as family - setting up good communications and scheduling bi-weekly meetings and demos. Steve talked a lot about breaking things up into smaller pieces to get some smaller chunks and good deliverables.

- The pace (running rate) is going to be increasing on this project. We want to keep it going forward.

- Making the plan and reporting to who is paying the bills (internal, adilas, or outside investors/contributors) - basically, return and report type concept. Let's see where it goes.
