:''Estimated Duration: '''20 hours'''''


==<font color=#00267c>Progress</font>==
===Week 1===
:'''Looked at regular expressions'''
::- Researched Java Regex tool for regular expression support
::- Added regular expression check in Google Map object to check address data for incompatibility
::- Created popup alert to display possible bad addresses


:'''Began RSS formatting functionality'''
::- Added new toolbar icon for RSS Formatting
::- Created new object called "FormattedData" to store formatted rss elements
::- Added new dialog boxes for formatted data creation and editing
::- Modified Google Maps to accept FormattedData objects


:'''Formatting tools'''
::- added dialog box for Google map formatting options
::- added two optimising functions, 'remove invalid' and 'finding approximate location'
::- removing invalid characters from addresses
::- implemented regular expressions to try fix invalid addresses
::- created general formatting options dialog box


===Week 2===
:'''Formatting tools'''
::- removed general formatting options dialog box because not needed at this stage
::- Improved approximate location algorithm


:'''Looked at implementing PHP generation'''
::- similar to how we did JavaScript - commenting the code and toggling on save
::- would mean writing PHP code generation for all mashup elements
::- this would take a long time and is trivial
::- would increase code length with redundant PHP/JS/HTML for all file types
:::- could be improved by re-writing the save methods
::- but would be good because it allows for dynamic RSS fetching (performed server side)

:Decided not implement no.9 due to complexity.
::- Would have taken a long time
::- Was not the focus of our project
