Development Calendar
From IHRIS Wiki
Last update -- March 2009
The following are development goals only, not necessarily hard-and-fast deadlines, and are subject to change. Expect this calendar to be updated frequently as new priorities come up. Developers, feel free to annotate with your own goals.

iHRIS Survey (Tentative Product Idea)
iHRIS Survey would enable the user to create a form with all needed fields, enter the data into a flat database and then run reports on that data. The form could be customized to address a variety of issues: backlog data entry; a step solution to prepare and clean data before importing into the mature HRIS; enter people or facility survey data; or any other form/database needs. If approved, the first iteration can be released in Summer 2009.
