GE Online Vision

Provide a web-app version of Guidance Explorer that allows read-only browsing of the patterns & practices guidance library

Requirements

* GE Online should read xml library, view and item files in the same format as GE offline
* xml files will reside on the webserver file system
* Should be able to display one or more libraries, depending on what is placed on the web server
* eg. if p&p library is on the filesystem then GE online displays just this library. If p&p library plus library foo is on the filesystem then GE online displays both libraries
* User interaction is read-only browsing:
* Any GE offline features that allow users to modify libraries, views or items will not be available in GE online
* Any GE offline feature that allows users to browse, sort, search, etc will be available in GE online
* GE offline features that require file generation (such as save guidance as a word doc) will not be available
* GE online should provide a link to allow users to download/install GE offline from the got dot net site.
* The GE Online tree will contain the p&p library node from GE offline as the top-level node. Current tree structure is:
* patterns & practices Library
* Checks
* Code Examples
* Guidelines
* Principles
* Test Cases
* Dynamically generate type nodes based on what’s in the library.
* If a new type shows up in the library (eg. How Tos) then it should show in the tree as well.
