Yesterday, much of the "core" WDMMG team met up in London for a f2f
meeting. Summary is below.

We also hold regular meetings on @ 7pm on Wednesday on #okfn on

## Key Material

  * http://www.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/dev/
    * Jumping off point for all dev activity with main links
    * In particular has link to ticketing system which I strongly
encourage people to use
    * Links to actors/use cases! **The central place** for this work
  * Main Data review/research is done: see data report
  * Basic store at: <http://store.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/>

## ACTIONS (some immediate, some medium-term):

SC=Steve Cummaford, LT=Liz Turner, DB=Dave Boyce (lots more for me,
Alistair but these are already tickets!)

  1. [SC] Review use-cases and work on speccing out actors (2h)

  2. [LT/DB] Add to ticket (288?) all bugfixes/minor improvements to
"dashboard" including:
    * Bubble zooming
    * Temporal transitions
    * Link title to main website

  3. [SC] Review prototype and review ticket adding any additional items

  4. [SC] Brainstorm on interactive extensions to WDMMG including e.g.
facebook app, voting/rating of spending etc

  5. [LT]: overhaul font/colour html/css to develop (relatively)
consistent look and feel for blog + store + visualizations
    * could include on basic page template for use on blog, store and
embedding visualizations (though this can be deferred if necessary)

## Work on frontend

Possible main areas of work on frontend. This is an area we need to
prioritise fairly rapidly. At the moment my understanding is roughly
1, then 2+3 (possibly in parallel)

1. Cosmetic improvements to dashboard (nothing fundamental) and
integration with new backend

2. Significant overhaul of dashboard to have new navigation and
reflect generality of backend

3. Work on "my" money app/visualization: i.e. providing a personalized
view on where you money goes
  * probably with (several) new "screens"

4. Frontend/Store integration around annotation, commenting and voting

5. Probably many more ideas ...
