2nd iteration (part 2)

As Renzo said (yes, he wrote the previous post) we splited up into two groups: one for the...say logic (which included the views, models, form classes) and another for the interface and graphic part (which involved using css, jquery, javascript and whatever that could improve the appearance of the system).

I'm on the logic team. We had a little hard time with forms. Actually we had never managed forms as classes before. Also we had trouble with some field properties (I never figured out why a PositiveIntegerField could possibly store a negative value!). For that we had to investigate about how to make extra validations to fields.

The whole "logic" for createEvent and modifyEvent is finished. I know that the interface team had an "uncomfortable" time trying to use jquery stuff in django. So, it's missing the big table where all the events had to appear. In a few hours we will ask for help to our professor.

This is getting quite challenging while we advance with the project. I say this because we are always thinking about new or improved functionality for the system, so it can be easy for the users to manipulate. I think we are doing great.
