One month until D-Day

The virtual ribbon cutting will be on September 1, so here we are exactly one month out. Good time to reflect on what is left to be done, and what's happening right now.

The major portions of the authoring tool are in place with two notable exceptions: modifying the appearance and publishing. The appearance thing is coming along nicely and I expect to be able to turn it on by the end of this week. The publishing part is already done at the architectural level, and I don't think it will be very hard down at the carpentry level to get it done.

Tonight, if I can stay awake, I'll start on a new page that I only realized recently was needed: a page called "Find Resources". It comes just before the Process sections, and it will include a set of links to help people find good stuff quickly. It will also have a text area to dump your discoveries into to be used in the three sections that follow. Down the road, I'll make the advice smarter based on grade level and curriculum of the individual WebQuest, but for now it will be generic. It would be good to get this done tonight so that it can be tested in the workshop here in Irving, Texas tomorrow. We'll see if I can get it done.
