John gave Cory and I a nice update on where he is at with some of his projects. One of his projects has been working with Chuck to create basic code templates and starting places for the developers to incorporate some of the newer design elements and layouts. We also talked about how the support for the classic system needs to remain (older pages and older sections) but some of the new features will only be built going forward - using the snow owl theme (newer look and feel). Eventually, it starts costing more than it is worth to make it compatible on every conceivable level. Decisions have to be made some times.

We are trying to push both users and developers into a more standard and maintainable model. I love to hike, and I can't tell you how many times a trail gets modified and eventually the older trails get forgotten, as long as the newer tails are easier, more manageable, and easier to maintain. It just gets better and better. We are trying to do similar things inside of the adilas system and application platform. Hopefully good and maintainable changes.

John showed Cory where he was at with the payroll and timecard project that he and I are working on. They went over some new look and feel and display options as well as new backend changes. I've been working on this project with John, so I have a pretty good bead on where things are at, but John filled in Cory so that she could follow along.

More education, when wanted and needed. John is really into including the educational pieces, but helping them to be somewhat hidden unless needed. That is awesome.

At the end of the meeting, Cory and I were talking more about training and the upcoming training event and conference. Cory told me that she, Kelly, and Marisa are working on some new curriculum for the upcoming training event and conference. I'm excited to see what that looks like. I love the direction.
