Introduction
Welcome to the Frockle project wiki. Our intention is to have the main project web-site hosted [http://frockle.oucs.ox.ac.uk here]. Until we have that up and running, this site will probably act as a temporary location for information we intend to move to that location before too long.

Initial User Requirements
- Facility to create/edit/delete user profile in VLE (in user's personal area).
- Profile should include details of research interests, and publication list.
- Ability to make profile public, or keep it private.
- Locate and view public profiles of known people, by searching/browsing using person's name.
- Locate people with similar or related research interests.
- Link to others to create personal networks. (Differentiate between two-way and one-way linking.)
- Navigate personal networks, preferably visually.
- Multi-level networks (e.g separate personal and work related networks).
- Add links to resources (in VLE) to personal networks.
- Share profile details with other systems or make same profile available in other systems (e.g. PDP).
Technical Requirements
- Code should be usable in multiple systems (e.g. Bodington and Sakai).
- Data shouldn't be in existing VLE database.
- Increasing VLE server load should be avoided.
- Application should be reliable, usable with different browsers with varying configurations.
Ideally fit in with existing functionality in VLE, e.g. MyWebLearn personal spaces, keyword tagging and searching.
