Over here at Proa we’ve just put the finishing touches on the first beta release of Finndu, our new website for sharing arbitrary locations with anyone. Finndu is the first large group project that I’ve been a part of and, in a jump-in-at-the-deep-end sort of the deal, it’s the first group project that I’ve been in control of. I’ve managed to learn some things that I’m going to be able to take to the next release and, more importantly, the next project I work on.

One of my goals with Proa was to give people the opportunity to work in a group on a project they enjoy before they’re thrown head first into the fast-paced Software Development work place – including me. To that end I’m going to be documenting the things that worked and the things that really didn’t starting right now with our first release experiences.
