Further Development
As with any system maintenance, bug fixes and improvements
to the existing system are important to ensure that the project
does not become stale. At present am I aware of no bugs that
require attention, although undoubtedly there are some present.
Suggested improvements, fixes and enhancements
Here I shall detail several improvements which I believe would
improve the system. In addition to the suggestions below I
would also recommend implementation of the remaining enhancement
ideas made earlier, “Minimum Requirements” and
the focus group suggestions made earlier, “Further requirement
suggestions”.
Word wrap: One of the most important enhancements
that should be implemented is word wrapping when posting articles,
following up to existing articles and viewing articles. This
is related to common netiquette , as a user should always
limit the line length of their articles to 80 characters to
make for easier reading for other users of the system where
their news reader does not support word wrapping of articles
being read.
This is also the reason for including word wrapping for articles
being read, as sometimes users post
articles to groups without realising that they are posting
an article with long lines present.
