# Modification scenarios (see chapter in platformTR)

$Id$

These files contain the list of changes necessary to fulfill the
modification scenarios given in platformsTR. There is one text file for each team, containing all scenarios.

Only files contained in the pbt-sources.zip files delivered by the
team were considered. All file names are relative to the root of the
zip archive.

Since the results paper will be in english these texts will be too.
I chose a structured notation since for drafting this better fits mit work style. It may
easily be converted into prose later.

Since it is very readable as structured text and can easily converted
to XHTML markup, [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) is used for the scenarios.

# Notes on scenarios
## Scenario 1: Add a field for middle initial
Some teams require name input as first/lastname, some ask for fullname
and do parsing afterwards. To get comparable results I added a middle
initial field even if a fullname field was already present.

The middle initial field was NOT marked as mandatory. This is important since it might
introduce changes to validator functions.

Some solutions greet users with their first name only. Most use the
full name. To get consistent results, the middle initial was added,
even if the original solution used only the first name.

# Notes for interpretation
All the files ending in "final" contain observations which have been
cross-checked with Will Hardy's observations. For every solution and
every scenario there is a section called "Summary". This short section
should be used for final assessment.
