Good news. I have recruited a team from PRJ566 that is excited to do this based on my explanation. Details to follow. At this point, it looks like I've been able to marry everyone to a project so there have been no conflicts or competition. But it could still happen if a team or customer backs out.

So just to cover off from this week's productive activity:
Murray, Mark and team DIG had meeting and discussed many aspects of Westminster including:
* Scheduling System. Need to contact facilitators.
* Receive various document formats, translate, updates to web-page. Currently Westminster is checking feasibility and costs to have web-developers create web-page in Wordpress (on church's local MS Server). For temporary solution, possible linkages of system into Wordpress web-page. Awaiting reply from Bill B. from BSC (ISP provider).
* Team DIG requested as much information on the MS Server as possible. E-mail sent to Bill B. from BSC - awaiting reply. Bill B. may take 3-5 to reply but usually dependable with good information.
* Ticketing (task tracking) system with respect to facilitators.
* Discussed term "the HUB". To provide clarification, in the future the "HUB" could represent more than one person (due to staffing, workload) that are administrators where requests, and communications via facilitators flow through.
* Forms that HUB uses were distributed to team DIG.
* Discussed avenue for future development (income) from evolving growth of needs of Westminster, or extra features that may not have a high-priority during this initial analysis and design phase.
* Discussed that United Church of Canada is viewing Westminster's church improvements (a test study), hence computer system is an excellent potential showcase for large number of churches that are experiencing similar problems.
* Students working with material to incorporate into analysis framework, and gain "overview" to help ask questions during information gathering phase. Murray provided additional information via a WIKI link:<br />http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Electronic_Version_%28i.e._document_files%29<br />Missing one special AVIT form (suspect it has macros). I will post screen captures of this special form later today...
* It is understood that students must scope, and prioritize tasks to see which tasks are important, and which tasks must remain as "to-do" to be followed up by potential modifications to computer system.
* Meeting scheduled (booked and confirmed). Denny, Mark, Murray, Lynne Smith - Current Hub) in T1030 on Tuesday October 5, 2010 (starting at 12:30 pm, other members to join around 1:30 pm)
Just wanted have this "follow-up" email to document what was discussed, have a physical reference to important items discussed, and to foster clear communication, so we are all "singing from the same songbook".
FYI,
