Notes from Keith/Simeon discussion Fri 2 Apr. Keith's duties include reference work so he familiar with the current system and with the requirements of users. He estimates that there would be about 60k entries/year with 30-50 people using the system. Keith is keen to take on the task of creating a new system and would likely then maintain it. His plan would be to:
- would start by copying whatever possible from the "new books" code
- use JSON log file as beck-end "db" (expect to roll over yearly, thinks 60k entries would not be too big to parse in order to answer query)
- new entry is append of JSON to log file
- web end - php and JSON, jQuery for UI
- back end - php, apache, modphp
- has ideas about UI and how reporting in different places/libraries might want to record different levels of data
- effort estimate: 1 week
