Move to WPI SourceForge

Today we completed the move to WPI SourceForge; we're using it only for trackers and tasks, as we already have a Wiki, file releases are un-necessary since it's a web application (except we use them internally just to track bugs), we use Google Groups to track discussions, and we have our own Subversion repository ... so trackers and tasks are all that's left!

Here's the link to our SourceForge page:
https://sourceforge.wpi.edu/sf/projects/assistments

If you're unfamiliar with SourceForge-ese, trackers are the primary way to track defects. To post a defect, just visit our tracker page and post a defect to one of the defect trackers (currently there are 2 -- one for development bugs and one for released bugs). Also, you can submit feature requests to the ... feature requests tracker!

As always, enjoy!

(Yes you heard correctly; we have moved away from Basecamp -- mainly because we "needed" "heavier" tasks ... yes that was a lot of quotes; basically with the size team we have we will need the reports SourceForge provides. We still love you basecamp!).

Gotta have Docs ...

You'll notice a new link in the ... links section ... Documentation. The past week we've been working on documenting everything we've got ... and this is what we have to show for it! It currently only has the requirements list, use cases, and system documentation, but they'll be more to add soon (like database schema/diagram and model class diagrams). Enjoy!

Assistment on Rails - Alpha

That's right people ... we have a blog! And what better way to kick off a first post than to announce the first version of Assistment! You can check it out at http://nth5.wpi.edu. The plan is to release something every week; next week will be a crazy amount of documentation. Yeah, I know, not as exciting :(

Feel free to comment here on any issues you find, or email me directly. Enjoy!
