Wonderful Woes of Going Beyond 2.0-Part1: Time and Technology

There were several obstacles that we had to overcome or that redirected the focus of our project. Below are listed a sampling.

1. Using the VBGOV network. Drive space constraints, IT change-overs of both drives and the Microsoft operating systems, saving/download/upload times exceeding the mount of allotted time to utilize for our project work, and the ever-present known Microsoft issue intermittently causing multiple instances of computer "hang" or “freeze up” leading to a inability to properly save all our changes in the final stages of the project.

2. The need for using at home (creative) resources led to an inability to access certain contributions from non-web based projects for another team member to collaborate in edits and changes, aka PrintShop and photo editing software.

3. The requirement of saving our project in a community accessible drive so that anyone might view it prior to its official debut therefore giving any competitor's leverage simply because the entire of central library accessible to the evening shift is devoid of a CD-R.

4. Password Retention of team members.

5. Conflicting work schedules or need for more in-person collaboration time.

6. Heat tickets and available computer stations.
