Passing the verify:
It seems like a lot of people were having a lot of problems with this and this is mainly our fault. The Junit test rely on the fact that you go in and manually change the test to reflect your information. We didn't annouce that well enough so many people had problem with running the verify.
changing the Color of the orb:
It seems like everyone knew how to change the color of the orb but the main complaint was that it wasn't intuitive nor was it "simple." Only someone that knew the system well or had the system explained to them could probably manage to get this done.
Improvment and suggestion:
I think that the biggest problem that we face in this code is the shear lack of documentation. It seems that a lot of people got lost along the way with just what each piece of code does. We almost assumed that the name of the files would be enough to explain the code itself but it seems that the javadocs were not enough. We need to document the code better so that other can understand what is going on.
Top 5:
1. Latency
2. Documentation
3. too many libraries
4. Verify fails
5. No listing of options with orb
Summary:
A good start but there is definately a lot of work ahead as well as some back tracking with documentation. It seems right now that the code works well with the options that we have but at the same time, no one but us really knows how to use or how the system works at all. We need to fix this by adding more documentation and a fresh interface.
