Talk:COMP 3000 Essay 2 2010 Question 11

--Sblais2 17:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC) I added stuf into the Research problems. I think I summarized most of them. If I forgot any, please add them in. I also added the missing references in the reference section. For Fedor, we seem to miss some content in 2 sections. Also, you could read through the other section and add/change some pertinent information that might've been missed that would make this essay even better.

--Sblais2 15:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC) Would it be possible to add your references at the bottom please? Even if it is a link. I have added the article link at the top of the essay.

Hey guys, sorry its taken me a while to post here. If there is a particular topic that needs researching, I could spend some hours doing that tomorrow - suggestions? Also, I intend to fix up the style&structure after everything is done as I am quite good with that.

--ScottG 21:36, 26 November 2010 (UTC) So I was a little (more than a little) behind on my initially estimated time for getting stuff up on Guest Timekeeping, but that's the gist of it there now. I'm going to try to buff it up a bit before it's due, since what I put in is a bit rougher than I'd like. If I seem to be missing something that should be pretty obvious, let me know and I'll work it in.

--Jjpwilso 15:49, 23 November 2010 (UTC) I've been completely swamped with COMP3004 stuff (among other things) and feeling guilty as hell about this essay. The good news, for those who might have missed today's lecture, is we have an extension of one week. Phew!!

--Sblais2 21:29, 22 November 2010 (UTC) I have added a small part to the background section. I have created by hand a diagram explaining how it works. I tried to find an original way of doing it but it is the same diagram everywhere. Please feel free to comment here or by sending me an email.

--AbsMechanik 19:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC) Here's what my research has led me to so far. I'm trying to come up with good points for the research problem, contribution and critique part of this essay. Here's a bunch of links, I've come across. I think there will be a few more tonight. Feel free to read through 'em:

--ScottG 18:55, 22 November 2010 (UTC) I'm good taking the Guest Timekeeping section. Hopefully I'll have some stuff up tonight or early tomorrow for it.

--Sblais2 17:14, 22 November 2010 (UTC) I will be working on the Background section. I will dedicate it to explain some of the key concepts that are used in the research paper that will allow the readers to have a better understanding on the rest of our essay. The structure you've put in place looks good but it might get modified, depending on the text will flow. The diagram is a good idea. I will drawn a simple one and add it in. Feel free again to critique.

--Jjpwilso 15:12, 16 November 2010 (UTC) I wanted to get a structure started, so I have stubbed out the first section. Note: some of the sub-sections might belong in the Research Problem section but we can easily move them if they fit there. Let's use this area to plan who is doing what. Feel free to critique any of my submissions. When you comment here, please put your comments at the very top so we can easily see recent posts.
