===Questions===

Questions that need to be answered/addressed during the planning phase(technical or otherwise).

==General==


==Usability==

~- Needs to be accessible to the disabled and people with older computers
~- Side-by-side comparisons of data, people don't like to open multiple windows to view multiple people
~- Navigation needs to be very simple.

==Technical==

~- Performance, try and keep queries down per page

==Appearance==
~- Simple easy entry points
~- We need to keep calls for donations in mind
~- Will likely want an area to advertise new programs/new to our site info
~- May want to continue with a PVS in the news sort of feature
