This project is concerned with providing a shared diary where appointments for a group are recorded. When a meeting involving more than one group member is required, their diaries are consulted and a mutually suitable time discovered. Appointments may be moved to make a suitable time. Note that some appointments are not movable.

Ideas processor

This project is concerned with providing a means of organizing ideas. It should support the input of headings, the moving of headings, the association of text with headings, etc. Do not assume that a simple hierarchical structure is appropriate. It should be possible to form a network of ideas. Make use of graphical capabilities if these are available.

Personal data management system

The aim of this project is to build a small database management system used to record personal information such as details of records and books, information about recipes and so on. Their may be a diversity of different kinds of information recorded and the system should be usable by those without a computing background. One possible approach would be to build a Macintosh-like HyperCard system.

Photograph library system

This system should record and retrieve information about photographs in a library. It should support keyword classification and retrieval requests for different types of photograph. Again, the system should be designed for use by people who are not familiar with computing concepts. This should be developed on a personal computer system and you could use some public-domain Photo-CD systems to test the system. Depending on the implementation platform, you may wish to include various image manipulation facilities in the system.
