Title Brainstorming
  Title idea here!  Title idea here! 

Other Ideas
  Partnership with Ticketmaster  Have a thing on their website where people can donate any amount they wish towards the purchase of a ticket for a major event  Organize the system so that people are available before an event to assist Kids Up Front ticket recipients with stuff they need  Ask Kids Up Front about their continuity planning/disaster preparedness  the website is mainly for the present or potential ticket donors, according to Kari. Why not target the kids and their family as well to enlarge the social influence?  If a person has a ticket to an event in another city, and they donate it in Calgary, the IS could be able to organize a transfer of the ticket to the appropriate city.  Quantitative analysis of the website (remind Omar to talk about this when we get to it!!) <li> Have a model of what our recommendations would make their website look <li> Add any other ideas here! </ul>

Outline
Here's a theoretical report outline: [[Media:The_Subscribers_Report_Outline.pdf]]

Add any comments about the outline here:  <li> Lara: Wow! This looks very good! It makes the project seem less daunting. There were a couple bullet points that talked about new users versus old users- would we have to go outside of our group to get new users? ''Yes, we would have to go outside of our group to get new users if we chose to do that...it'd effectively be a usability test, but the good news regarding that is that I've still got all my usability test stuff from my COMS 363 project on Ebay.ca, so it'll be pretty easy to adapt to Kids Up Front. If you want I can show you on Monday or after class on Thursday how I made it work and then we can decide! - Omar'' <li> Brianna: Page Lengths should probably work as follows:  <li> Cover Page <li> Executive Summary <li> Competitive Context (2 PAGES) <li> CSFs (8 x 2 PAGES EACH = 16 PAGES) <li> Website Design Critique (3 PAGES) <li> Recommendations (3 PAGES) <li> References (1 PAGE) <-- Total = 25 pages <li> Appendices <li> Group Peer Review </ul> <li> Insert Comment Here </ul>
