Tom, Thank you for your feedback. I'll get started with the homework... (reading material pointers are welcome), so that I have at least a better understanding of what is involved and possibly be in a position to write up a problem and solution approach statement.
However, from your response I gather that this may be a fairly involved project, to say the least, and be best handled by a development team. Do you know of other people that have done some preliminary work (problem study, solution approach, conceptualization, project proposal, coding, testing) on a similar project and might be interested in pushing this project further in a team effort?
