Week 6 - critiquing & concept progress

Working with the team, we discussed many elements of the structure of the site.  I was running team meetings and leading discussion on design.

Hanson lead the discussion on the coding side.

We decided on the following direction:

  1.  Call all the results in from the Trove API call upon searching and limit it to 500 results.
  2.  Limit the Google API map, for max zoom out and max zoom in.
  3.  Current CSS theming was not in line with original concept work
After last weeks session of critiquing others works, I felt like the quality of the critiques I gave were high quality and would enable others to see some areas of opportunity.

However, the quality of feedback from others towards our concept, was very limited and even after strong encouragement to provide any feedback, we really didn't receive enough quality feedback.

I think the lesson here is to maybe have rewards such as lollies and sweets to really encourage the feedback.  I think also our progress was well in advance to others and maybe other students were a little put off on the fact we were so far ahead.
