Sawa sawa, ofcourse lazima tuweke categorised serach ili iwe rahisi. Okey next nadhani ni REQUIREMENT DOCUMENT au?
kotinkarwak said:Recommendations:
Since directory services as a web application already has been implemented all over the web, I suggest that a visit to such sites should be undertaken to collect likely features that you need to build into your solution.
Yah I belive project members tumeshatembelea na tunatamebea site mbali mbali kama za yellowpages na kujua ni interface gani tutakayotumia na nini cha tofauti tutafanya kiendani na mazingira ya tanzania
The best directory service is only brought about by a well crafted data input. Once all relevant data is available, then it even becomes easier to allow a user to determine how they run the search. I might be looking up certain businesses in TZ as a whole, for a specific business sector hence my search might originate from doing a generalised search based on the sector itself.
However, if I am looking for a doctor, I would want to include the region (Dar es salaam) and preferably Sinza as a sub category but all this depends and relies on the underlying data being made available at business registration to the site.
Yes uko sahihi but inabidi tujue na limitation za kijiografia zilizopo tazania. Because kuna sinza kwa remy na makaburini but less is know about street names and feeder roads. Assuming you are a clinet itakuwa ni kukudanganya kuwa itkuwa perfect although as even myself I want it to be.
In Tanzania do towns have individual tel code? There you are. Zmani It was easier kujua landline number fulani ni ya posta or mbezi. but still hata posta na mbezi ni kubwa na hatuna majina ya mitaaa na ni watu wachache wanajua number au hata kurefer location kwa number ya nyumba.
Please visit yellowpages as a start, since this is a global business, different countries may implement it differently hence you could see how best to build that part of the application.

Yes Thank very much.
Feature Set
Best approach here is to build in as early as possible all the features that the application may require. Retrofit of features may prove to be damn expensive on time and expertise. If the underlying infrastructure is not following a module form of application build where plugging in new features is a well documented activity, It would almost mean that a new application is being built every time a new feature needs to be added. The trends are that more mobile users are accessing the internet and given that there are issues with the internet access (traditional PC based), it means that within the region, a big number uses/accesses the internet on mobile form. Hence can't rule them out in the build.
You are right but some features are something we members must agree on .
Second there are limitation and constraints in terms of finance , technical cabapilities experience, and remoteness of of members form each other.
Am sure even with minimum features if this project prove to be successful then in the future we can have the full featured applications.
We should be realistic and consider these constraints in project environment too. There is a small risk analysis document hope uliiona.
It t will be better to have final product with minimum features and capabilities that being so ambitious and failing to deliver anything at all or not meting the deadline.
Anyway may be am so cautious.s I would also llike to see this application is accessible in mobile.
Members wenye uelewa mnaweza kutusaida kutusaidia kutupa mwanga ki technical kuna tofauti gani na ni requiment zipi zinahitajika katika implementation unapo consider mobile device.
May be pia nakosea sababu limitation ya capabilities nilizonazo nahisi na member wengine zinaweza kuwakwaza.
Security
Building an application from ground up is not advisable even though it is assumed that the data is not critical. Again, does depend on how you view telephone and address details, for me I think they are critical. If bots and online software that are written to harvest data from unprotected sites hits this site, you can't tell where that data will end up and if any issues will arise from that. A directory service is assumed to be a user centric application, and that each result is a result of a user activity (click to search) and hence implications may be different in that instance. Other security issues ie, Trojan code being embedded into your app/web that cause havoc on user sites will undermine this effort. As an example, I used to visit one prominent News site in Kenya, will not name it so that you don't encounter similar problem but their web did throw up a few security alerts when I accessed it hence already I shy away from the site and maybe will never visit it again, even if someone tells me the error is fixed.
I think you might also need to implement an opt-in/out clause since most of the data could at some point become commercially usable. Example, a company needing to do a market research through the addresses (especially e-mail) available from the site.
If a user is happy, then, can legally provide that to the company for their mailshot to be disbursed.
Interesting issue ume rise hapa . But I don't think ni sahihi kusema Contact information ni Critical. No ndio maana hata zile yellow pages manual tunazojua wenye landlines zao number zao zinawekwa bila hata wao kuulizwa.
Email adress ,telephone number location address sio critical. But nikisema Kontirwaa bank accont yake ina shilingi 100 hapo ni issue critical
Vile Vile kama nilivyosema na ninavyooolewa there are some of security or things haziwezi kuwa within our control. We assume Domain provider and Webserver are secure.
Nakubaliana na wewe but nadhani Pia Issue ya security sometime imekuwa over exxagaerated nakuwapa watu fear. It's a fear amabyo hata wafanya watu wanweza kuogopa kutoa mawasiliano ya biashrazao kwa kigezo cha security.
To me Jf inatakiwa kuwa na security implementation kali zaidi kuliko hata system yetu. SO let ask ourselves wht are security implementation JF app use.
NB,
Idont say our system should have zero security at all.
Availability
I am not familiar with the .tz registration requirement, but if it ties you down to hosting in TZ, then I would not recommend it. Rather you use a .info or a .net hosted in the cloud that will for one ensure a reliable fast service for your clients.
Noted
Access to data
This should be viewed as a public service site. Access should be automatic as far as searching the site is concerned. Access rights however should/could be implemented where a user becomes an originator of data. You will need a way to communicate with them if required hence e-mail storage may be requested as part of the input.
Mhh mhh email acoount should be an ptional. Kumbuka pia inataka kuwasaidia waendesha taxi, madereva wauza mchele namatunda sokoni. Wauza mifugo.
Kwa wasio na internet system should allow akipiga simu anaomba aigizwe. Na data entry perosnnel. Data entry personnel anarekodi taarifa zake na kuziweka.
Kwa wenye email website itakuwa na form ambayo wakijaza basi automatic registration inafanyika baada ya confirmation.
I mean tusifikirie tu ma dr. watu wa IT, wanasheria amabo interaction na web kwao ni kila siku but tujaribu kufikiria jinsi gani mkulima wa matunda luhsoto naye anaweza kufaidika.
Data currency
You will also need to keep the data current and that can only be done by periodically prompting the originating user via e-mail to ask for confirmation of this else over time, a site will/could hold junk data. A mechanism to delete data not confirmed or updated over a certain time will need to be agreed upon.
This is one of the god requriment buy complex. remeber our service is for free. So kwa kuwa ni free user wanawajabikia kbadilisha au waombe info zao zibadilishwe.
Hata hizi directory za nje sidhani karma ziko cuurent. Kuna mtu najuakarudi kutoka nchi fulani three years ago. But data zake bado zipo This will mostly depend on user feedback themselves.

Your thing is cool, just put description to make us know if something is missing.
Make sure next time you put a boundary. Systems have a boundaries..🙂
Prevoiusly ithought u were directing us to do a requirement definition. Now i know its a System Requirement Specification..
I advice member wote tuchangie na kuweka input zetu hatua kwa hatua kwenye hii template. mpaka tupate final version.
I submit Two section nilizojaza Introduction and Overall prduction description. for your review comment and addition

Itakuwa vizuri tukifuta hii standard not bad tukichukua hata wiki nzima
ni vizuri kutulia mnapo andika hizi documents, maneno kama etc sometimes si mazuri hasa inapo bidi kuwa na list ya vitu kamili. inabidi uchambuzi wa kina,kulingana na hali halisi ya hapa bongo. mfano, tunatakiwa kujui aian zote za intituion tunazo target, ili isifike wakati kikaja kitu ambacho specofication zake hazipo kwenye documents, something can cost you in the future.
Wakuuu hapa nimefanya syntax na semantic error coreections nilzolete kwenye doc yangu ya mwanzo na pia nimeongeza kipengele cha Interface Kwenye section ya product overview.

Ila bado sijaona mebers akichangia kuhusu hii aplication kuwa accesible kwenye mobile. Should it be a requirement? is any one of us anajua tutahitaji nini. My self sina clue.
