Our group met again last Thursday for a second brainstorming session. We decided to make a list of features we want to see in our app, and what would be bonus features. The key features that we could not live without are -Adding friends to the app; making it social -Different levels of friends—emergency contacts (this has to be a mutual decision because you want trust your emergency people) -Tracking a person doing GPS location -JQuery Mobile (http://jquerymobile.com/) and a web pull (so whoever would need to program HTML) -Set your location and share location with a specific group of people you trust -Potential to add specific information (what you’re wearing, the specific room you’re in), sort of like a Facebook status -Choose different groups for privacy purposes (close friends, people within 500 ft, people with in x area, etc.) -Adding point system to incentivize bystander intervention (add stickers) -Somehow linking profile to phone numbers in order not to over add someone -Integrate HUPD escort service in the app The current framework looks something like this:

We are still looking for programmers, which is a big challenge. Our goal is to integrate more with other groups in the University in order to share information, as well as get some funding. Tentatively, we are thinking of using funding to reimburse student programmers for their time. More to come soon!
