Awesome demo. A challenge where I work is an extreme acronym rich lingo. Is your model open to extension or learning in some fashion to accommodate picking up thousands of acronyms? We also can shift into rapid, specialized speaking patterns that I think are quite learnable but that are not really 'out of the box' for normal software products. I would think many industries could feature their own lingos like this.
Looks very interesting. I surfed around your site and watched the video. So how about nonconformance processing? Do you have workflows for that, or is that where something like JIRA comes in?
Also, have you utilized anything like the S1000D aerospace data schema with this tool, or are you rolling your own?
We are planning to have some dedicated functionality to help with non-conformance, anomalies, and other related things. We also plan to integrate with JIRA for separate reasons too.
We have not implemented a standard data scheme yet, but that's a great idea. We've been letting our customers set up their own schema and structure based on their needs, but I can definitely see the value of being able to adopt an industry-standard schema, so that's a great idea.
I'd love to learn more about your use case and understand better where you're coming from on those points.
On the other hand, new launch vehicles are good for jobs. Well, probably only in Huntsville and nowhere else, but Sen. Shelby will see to it that nothing happens to that work, even if its to the determinant of NASA as a whole.
I always suspected that to be true regarding Apollo project.
Well...
Today I see how much Soyuz-2 costs vs. how much spacecraft Soyuz costs... and wonder - may be it's still trickier to create Apollo and LEM than Saturn-V, even though in Russian history H1 turned out to be harder to make than the payloads...
Rockets are doing roughly the same thing, since 1957 - get things to orbit. While payloads keep changing - with all those stations, telescopes, probes, monitoring satellites etc. Rockets aren't that much "rocket science" anymore - but the payloads surely are. So may be - just may be - this law can be amended, a little bit.
Yes, I remember taking a Fortran class there in 86 and using those terminals. The touchscreen felt like a plastic membrane over the glass, and gave a little wherever you touched it. What I remember most were the terminal keyboards. The keys were sprung like automotive suspensions, so you had to really hit each key with force to get it to register. When I got home after that quarter my dad yelled at me for pounding the keyboard at home - my typing habits had become almost violent.
I also recall seeing the Plato system being shown off in a display at the Worlds Fair in Knoxville in 1982. I took a peek at the Wikipedia entry for the fair, and it notes that several new technologies were debuted at the fair, include touch screens. Follow the link to touch screens and there's a picture of our friend, the Plato V.
