1. Convergent Newsroom Schedule and Road Map

3. Unify the User Interface Design Development of the user interface was done in parallel, so the parts need to be made to adhere to a single theme.

4. Merge The Source Code Development of the server was also done in parallel. So the code from each developer needs to be merged.

16. Public User Features Need to Materialize The ability for the public to have a role in the system was a customer requirement. This "public" user does not have "creator" rights, but does make contributions distinct from news staff. Care needs to be taken so that the public cannot overload the system with junk submissions.

17. Integrate Subversion Management System Some planning and testing is necessary to determine how best to get the Subversion featured seamlessly and invisibly added. The use of Subversion should not be prominent to the end users; it should just work, providing a simple history mechanism.

18. Implement RSS Feed Capability The integration of RSS should provide a basic service, yet while maintaining security (by not serving private information).

19. Testing of the System The client code needs to be tested on different platforms (browsers). The application needs to be thoroughly tested to identify hidden bugs that show up as the system is subjected to stress or long term operation. There also needs to be some assurance that the integrity of the data is maintained over time and after many updates.
