[Dev-flock] applications updated on wiki

[Lucy Mendel]

yo,

I've updated the trac wiki with new applications
    http://bilumi.org/trac

In particular, the cellphone app and the quick rate prototype are new.

1. I've got a good chunk of cellphone changes in my sandbox to commit.
We hope to tie off and set aside work on this demo soon.

2. There's a large code cleanup story for our current web application,
the goals being to:
  * remove unused code
  * complete unfinished framework pieces
  * port features dropped between version changes

3. The next big story is automatic accumulation of data, both from
external databases with API's (eg, the UPCs and eventually
manufacturer information we get from http://upcdatabase.com), scraping
the web (eg, we considered scraping wikipedia, though it doesn't seem
to have the right content), and user submissions. Note that we still
expect users to rate the reviews, as well as edit and contribute to
other properties.

The actual stories and tasks have yet to make their way to xplanner. I
expect to email that out in the next week or two.

Let me know where your interests lie. Clay and I will be working every
Monday night in MIT's new media center, so that would be a good time
to catch up in person if need be.
