"The Project" Part 2: Planning

I thought that I would have had at least some progress by now, but I've found that a busy life leaves little time for side projects. Still, this is far from over, even if I am still in the planning stages.

This project is going to be well done, but low budget. I'm going to attempt to code the TMS itself using Python. With its large standard library, almost everything that I'm going to need is already there. It even has support for a database already included, and extensive support for Unicode.

For any images, I plan on using GIMP, a free alternative for graphics design and manipulation. I might even use Inkskape if I decide to use some vector graphics.

I know that this is going to be a fairly large project. I may want to do small chunks of functionality, then go for the larger stuff.

To be continued.
