[FX.php List] Project Results

[Jonathan Schwartz]

I want to thank the folks on this list for the help and support 
generously provided during the development of my recent FX.php 
project, an online Student and Family Directory for the local school 
district.  The project was successfully launched...not without a few 
bumps along the way...and is already nearing the end of its short 
online life.

Thought that you might enjoy seeing some of the unsolicited user 
comments that were returned, due in part to the improvements made via 
the list's help.  Hopefully, you won't think that this is too 
self-serving:

THE GOOD:
"Kudos on your-self guided directory information check.
It was a pleasure reviewing the information. It's clear, intuitive and
quick. Thank you for your work!"

"Congratulations on this system. It's flat out brilliant. Great use of simple
architecture and navigation to get what you need quickly and easily. Sounds
so simple yet so many fail."

"The directory updating experience was fast, fun and efficient. 
Thanks for another great ***** School experience. Keep up the hard 
work--it shows!"

"WOW!  I'm really impressed with how easy it was to update our Directory
listing.  A big thank you to you and Jonathan!"

THE BAD:
"I'm sorry, but I can't get the new grades to stick for my children. 
I've put in the new grades and clicked on refresh (3 times over), but 
they still come up incorrect.  What am I doing wrong?"
(Ed: Hmmm...there isn't an option to edit those fields. Wonder what 
they were thinking?)

"I kept getting stuck on Step 5!"
(Ed: That's when the server crashed on Day 1.  Presently upgrading the system)

THE UGLY:
"I keep trying and Jonathan even reset my name and password but i can't get
into the directory to edit it. I've tried more than 15 times. It simply
keeps me at the first log in step 1"
(Ed: Think I need to work on Cookies/Sessions, and how to handle the 
process when browsers don't accept them)

As you can see, there is still much to learn. New project is right 
around the corner... ;-)
