+Team Proposal
+Part 0:
+Phu D. Pham has joined our team Part 1:
+1) Our project will allow users to create online lion avatars and navigate between different campus-themed chatrooms. Their chat messages will float on top of their avatars to give the appearance of talking.
+2) Our users will consist of freshmen and other incoming students who have never seen Columbia’s campus first hand due to COVID-19. Other students who miss campus may also be interested. All users will be required to have a columbia.edu or barnard.edu email. Users will need to log in every time they join the site and will automatically be logged out when they leave, or are inactive for some duration of time.
+3) We will be able to show a website where a lion avatar (or multiple) could walk to the coordinates of a cursor click. Upon typing a message, a chat bubble will appear above the lion. The above two actions committed by other users will also be visible to all users connected to the same chatroom.
+4) We will store which email addresses are in which chat rooms and at what coordinates are they located.
+5) http://www.purgomalum.com/​ will provide us with quality profanity checking so we can prevent users from cursing and using other inappropriate language.
+Part 2:
+1) FRESHMEN: As a freshman, I want to view the Columbia campus and spatially understand its layout so that I will be less disoriented when I eventually come to campus for the first time.
+My conditions of satisfaction are:
+a) The chat rooms must be linked to different locations on Columbia campus,
+and link to one another in a way consistent with campus’s layout.
+b) The chat rooms will describe why the locations/chatrooms chosen are
+locations of interest.
+c) Locations that freshmen typically spend time at will be marked as such.
+2) CLUB MEMBERS: As a member of an in person club on campus, I want a virtual meeting place where I can meet up with other members so that we can continue to get to know each other and have a fun way to socialize, even though we are not meeting on campus.
+
+ Part 3:
+My conditions of satisfaction are:
+a) There must be a basic chat feature that we can use to communicate with
+other people in the club chat room.
+b) There must be private chat rooms where a club can meet up without
+interference from non club members.
+c) The app must also provide open chat rooms for specific clubs where non
+club members can enter and chat. This would be useful for clubs that want to recruit new members or are non exclusive and let anyone show up to meetings.
+d) There must also be a way to send direct messages to individual club members in these chat rooms, as opposed to sending messages viewed by all.
+e) Higher ranking club members should have certain chat privileges in these club chat rooms, such as being able to mute members and kick people out.
+3) INCOMING STUDENT: As an incoming student (freshmen/transfer student), I want to be able to communicate with other new students so that I can build an auxiliary social network before physically meeting them.
+My conditions of satisfaction are:
+a) There must be a communication functionality in the form of chat that
+allows me to send messages to other people on the platform
+b) There should be a way to add ‘friends’ to your network so that you may
+keep track of the people you have conversed with
+c) There should be an option to continue conversations with ‘friends’ in private
+chatrooms as opposed to the public interface.
+4) CAMPUS FACULTY/ ORGANIZER: As a campus faculty or club organizer, I want to be able to communicate with students under specified hierarchical roles, such as “organizer” or “student”, in order to instruct students and coordinate their conversations.
+My conditions of satisfaction are:
+a) There must be identifiers for the participant’s role (student, faculty,
+organizer, etc.).
+b) Users under specified roles can be granted some privileges (mark and
+delete comments, remove and add users, create chat rooms, etc.).
+
+ 1) FRESHMEN: As a freshman, I want to view the Columbia campus and spatially understand its layout so that I will be less disoriented when I eventually come to campus for the first time.
+a) A demo testing user will go to the website and login.
+b) They will confirm that they can see Butler library and can immediately
+identify their avatar.
+c) Taking into consideration the perspective of the image, Lerner, John Jay,
+and College Walk will be reachable by right clicking on the edge of the background graphic and waiting for the avatar to walk towards the clicked point.
+d) Each location will come with a popup on the top left with a “DId you know?” fact about the location.
+e) Each “Did you know?” fact will describe relevant usage of the location depicted during years where there isn’t a global pandemic.
+f) Chatrooms corresponding to freshmen dorms will additionally have a popup on the top left saying “Hot with freshmen”.
+2) CLUB
+meeting place where I can meet up with other members so that we can continue to get to know each other and have a fun way to socialize, even though we are not meeting on campus.
+a) A demo testing user will go to the website and login.
+b) They will confirm they are logged in by seeing their avatar and surroundings.
+c) The user will navigate their avatar by clicking on the virtual map of
+columbia.
+d) They will have the option of joining a club chat room by entering the name
+of the chat room (and if it is a private one, a password). After hitting "join" the user's avatar should now be inside of the club chat room with other club members.
+e) Whatever the user now types into his chat bar should only show up in this club chat room, and should not be visible to anyone outside.
+f) By clicking the button "return to public chat" the user should be transported back to the main public chat room, the map of columbia where they first logged into.
+3) INCOMING STUDENT: As an incoming student (freshmen/transfer student), I want to be able to communicate with other new students so that I can build an auxiliary social network before physically meeting them.
+a) A demo testing user will confirm their login credentials and be able to access the platform.
+b) All online users in the vicinity should be visible on the interface as well as in an interactable state.
+MEMBERS: As a member of an in person club on campus, I want a virtual
+
+c) Sending a chat from one user in the public chatroom should send a message in real time that is visible to everyone on the site.
+d) Sending a friend request to a specific user should alert the other user with a popup notification as well as an option to accept or decline.
+e) Accepting the request should automatically open a private chatroom that allows both users to send messages that are visible only to each other.
+f) Taking in the history of all friend interactions, a menu of all friends made on the site should be readily available to the user.
+4) CAMPUS FACULTY/ ORGANIZER: As a campus faculty or club organizer, I want to be able to communicate with students under specified hierarchical roles, such as “organizer” or “student”, in order to instruct students and coordinate their conversations.
+a) A demo student will log in and they are expected to see their role as student. This should hold similarly with a club organizer and a faculty.
+b) A demo student will try to delete a comment or an user and it is expected that he or she should not be able to.
+c) A demo faculty will try to delete a comment or a test user and it should work.
+Part 4:
+For Python, we will not be using a compiler. For Javascript, we will be using babel as well as webpack. We will be using VSCode or Sublime Text or Vim as our IDE. For Python, we will store our requirements in a requirements.txt file. For javascript, we will use create-react-app and set up the frontend as a node project. Building, and installation of javascript dependencies will be handled by node (npm). For JS testing, we will use Jest in conjunction with Travis and ESlint for style checking (linting). For coverage, Jest also provides coverage reports using the --coverage tag, but we may also use it in conjunction with Codecov.io for formal coverage reports. For Python style checking, we will use pep8. For Python unit testing, we will use unittest. For Python coverage tracking, we will use coverage. For Python bug finding, we will use ipdb. For persistent data storage, we will use MongoDB.
