The initial draft of the Cyberguide Design Document is available:

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fce/cyberguide/project_notebook/spring96/design_documen
t_draft_1.html

There are a number of areas that are not as complete as we would
have liked, and we should be able to make necessary additions/clarifications
to the document as well as incorporate feedback from the initial reviews
by the beginning of next week. Areas that still need work are:

* Details on Map Segmenting are not in yet, due to an oversight in the
suggested implementation that we noticed at the last minute.
* Error Trapping is not detailed
* Distinctions between Objects and Events (time-sensitive objects), as
well as details on dynamic objects are still vague in some places.
* Relationships between objects & category descriptions are vague.
* Rough UI Diagrams have not been done yet
* Some Inconsistency on the naming of objects/processes/procedures.
We will clean this up and possibly provide a Glossary and/or
data dictionary.

Something we didn't explain well enough? Something you don't like?
Something you do like? Suggestions for improvement? Accolades? Death
Threats? Send us any comments you might have...
