Desain Awal RIKA

Dear team RIKA,
Di sebelah kiri adalah desain awal dari project kita (RIKA), mungkin desainnya masih pada halaman index saja, karena requirement yang masih banyak berubah. Jadi yang akan saya buat desainnya terlebih dahulu adalah desain requirement yang sudah fix, walaupun masih ada kemungkinan berubah, tetapi perubahan itu tidak terlalu berarti. Sehingga diharapkan dari BR sudah memiliki skenario yang jelas tentang jalannya suatu modul atau proses tertentu. Pada desain tersebut saya tampilkan menu yang bersifat umum seperti Home, Register dan About RIKA ditambah dengan form login, sehingga user bisa langsung mengakses portal.
Mengenai struktur kategori, saya mengusulkan berbentuk tree disamping kiri dan bagian kanannya merupakan isi dari kategori tersebut, seperti Windows Explorer. Kemudian untuk jawaban akan dibuat lebih menjorok ke dalam dari pertanyaannya, seperti di SCELE.
Sementara baru itu yang bisa saya rencanakan, saran dan kritik sangat diharapkan
Terima kasih :)

First Module Design Released ..

First, I would like to welcome to project RIKA interns (Software Project Class 2005). These interns will help me launch ECL's first prototype. The interns are divided into 2 groups. Each group has a Project Management PIC (Person In Charge), a Business Requirement PIC, a Analysis and Design PIC, an Implementation PIC, and a Testing PIC. Each intern is responsible to the project development, the project itself has 3 month to develop. I hope we could deliver our first release at the end of the semester.

Second, the diagram on left is the project's modules. As you can see the concept is still very rough n simple. The "R1" circle means that the feature will be availabe in first release and the other circle that has number in it shows which group that will work on the feature.

Finally, i would like to see contributions from you interns .. n i'm looking forward to see u all at campus soon :D

RIKA's detailed features

As i have mentioned before RIKA is a community based portal. This portal acts similiar to forum-like system. Following are the detailed feature of the system.

1. Users registered in the system are being given points for the question that they answered.
2. All questions that have been answered by the user will be kept by the system in a user's history.
3. The system maintains several categories and sub-categories. e.g. category IT has 2 sub-categories (Programming, System Analysis) and so on.
4. There are several levels for users. The level depends on the user points that he got by answering questions.
5. The system has mail notification system, users that asked a question and answered a question are automatically subscribe the mail notification system. So if a question is answered, the system will notify the user that asked the question by email.
6. The system also has a question monitoring system. This monitoring system acts like an administrator in forum based portal.
7. Flow :

3. User asks a question in that category
4. User gives points for the question to be answered
5. Another user (user B) try to answer the question that user A asked
6. User B posted the answer
7. User A choose the best answer (which is user B's answer)
8. Points are transfered from user A's account to user B's account
9. User A that gives a grade for the user B's answer, e.g. A, B, C, or D
