[edit] Project Status Tracking

We are working on a tweeter bot for PersonFInder

• 12pm: we decided to work on search API
• 12:30pm: we learned Toronto is working on search API already. So we'll work on "better search" to integrate what UC Irvine did with PersonFInder
• 1pm: new change: Better search requires to learn 2 code base (Uc irvine and person finder), so we let it to Chen Li's students who wrote the code. Instead we'll work on a small PersonFInder tweeter API. Use case: someone tweets @personfinder Will Robinson. We perform a search on Will Robinson and reply to the person with results. This will be integrated to PersonFinde code base.
• 2pm: Start looking at tweeter API and coding
• 11pm: lots of progress on the code: 1) code to perform a search and send tweet almost done (sending tweets from appengine works). 2) adding some cron job to appengine instance to look at tweeter API every 1min. Hope to have a demo running by noon tomorrow with code ready to be reviewed.
