...Design with "Cinema Paradiso" playing and in mind...

I am leaving the specifics of the GUI design to the spec document.
Let's get this proposal finished. I know why this product needs to be
made, and why it will be useful. It has passed the checking that a
normal product would pass. Actually as I'm the one making all the
decisions, the main purpose of a product Proposal is defunct.

But as the saying goes:

Plans are nothing. Planning is Everything.

Doing this piece of writing really brought up some of the issues that
I hadn't thought about yet. (I'm not posting it here 'cause it is
kinda, ahem, sensitive information) And needless to say more issues
will arise in the specs as well. They did in assignment 3 for
cse1402, all those areas in the menus, ideas where things could have
been done better. All that comes out in the careful planning and
writing of Proposals and Specs for an application larger than, say,
fridge master (see cse1301 final assignment).

Words Product Proposal v1.11 completed, but perhaps rather unpolished
and all together unprofessional. But who cares for now. It's late.
And I want to get onto the spec.
