Important meetings

Now I am back at work after a 2 month break following an achilles heel injury. Held two important meetings recently. First with Eric Tatham who will be doing the programming for the project. We have agreed an outline for the scope/functionality of the mobile phone application. Programming should start at Easter. Also had meeting with Laura Hadland who is reponsible for collections within Leicester's Museum Service. Laura will be co-ordinating the content for the application. Further updates to follow
