Today I added Chris Campbell on facebook, he's doing the second part of the project so communication will be helpful, we've had some discussions about the data-exchange protocol over facebook.
I experimented with programming with the PDF API and created a little prototype, I'm sure that I am missing some important methods which are there – may need to de-compile the source code, this should be fine as it is open source, I'll have to look into it though.
It took me a long time to work out how to add extensions or additional API's in java, of course it was obvious, in the \ext folder!
For example:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\lib\ext
After this I carried on with my re-learning of the requirements topic and found a useful website where I have taken over a page worth of notes from:
http://www.stsc.hill.af.mil/crosstalk/2008/03/0803Gottesdiener.html
I now think I know how to approach this area, however i'm not sure if what I have been looking at is a little too high level.
I sent an e-mail to Mike asking about the relationship between requirements and the lit review, he said that they do go hand in hand and are a very much iterative process. Soon i'll start with a small lit review and then go from there.
On my travels I also came across problem frames:

This is a requirements approach which can be thought about.
Also I came across requirements templates:

These again maybe are a little high level but they give an indication of the work needed, I am a little worried about this Friday deadline for the requirements, but I'll just have to get stuck in!
