NearMe Continuation Report!

NearMe is coming along nicely, with the map and Trove being successfully implemented into the core program. The website is now capable of extracting small amounts of information from Trove and putting in the dialogue boxes provided by Google Maps. However, at the moment, these capabilities only work properly with the 'Location' filter - if the user attempts to input a date, the website will simply state that 'There are no events with these conditions'.

The progress report is also underway, with the team hard at work at completing each section. The work has been divided equally to remove any chance of negative feelings within the team and hopefully the pieces of the report will come together and fit perfectly.

Currently, the team is also preparing to make a paper prototype of 'NearMe' which will show the other teams what our project is designed to do and to gather feedback. Team Hermes has decided to use the software Balsamiq to create the prototype and hopefully it will represent NearMe well enough for the users to gain a basic understanding of the website.
