- 2. Section 1 About this Document Purpose and Contents What this specification does This document provides outline functional specifications and requirements for the Openhealth.in web site projects, phases 2 through 4. Phases 2 and 3 are described in great detail – Phase 4 is left more ambiguous, as Phase 4 specifications will be determined at a later date. It is designed to guide system development and design, including: 0• Database structure 0• Site information architecture 0• Site functionality 0• Administrative tool set 0• Use cases cification does not do This is not a project plan. It is a guide for system architecture and development, not for phasing, timelines or deliverables. Portent will provide project scheduling information as necessary. cument’ Finally, this specification will change, continuously, as the project proceeds. We will add details and edit existing information as the database structure, site architecture and use cases evolve in the course of the project.

Questions and Comments Project Overview
- 4. Goals, Audience, Phases and Tools The OpenHealth.in project is divided into four separate phases, each with its own goals, and a steadily evolving audience focus. As developed in the strategic brief, the overall goal of this project is threefold: 0• Attract and excite a diverse audience 0• Provide useful, timely content in a compelling, easy-to-use design 0• Allow OpenHealth.in staff to maintain most site content using only their web browser Original Goals The proposed site developed a detailed list of goals prioritized as follows: 1. Get a diverse audience excited about the site. 2. Educate that audience about pollution. Increase usability 3. Ease site maintenance 4. Incorporate multimedia (Flash, video) where it helps tell the proposed site story 5. Develop a site referral program 6. keep members up-to-date.
- 5. The Survey Results and Revised Goals Portent Interactive set up a survey asking visitors to rate the site. At the time of this writing, the proposed site survey has been on the web site for three weeks. Many people completed the survey and the result will be published on the site. 0• 45% of visitors come to the site more than once per week. The site should be updated at least that often, preferably daily. 0• 75% visit the site from home. Our proposed site must be a fast-loading site, because very few web surfers have high- speed connections at home. 0• Most visitors come to the site to read about current events, their territories, or politics/legislation, and said that current events would bring them back to the site more often. Again, this means that the site should be updated more often. 0• Only 25% of visitors said that the site was neutral or worse when it comes to finding information. However, most commented in open questions that they wanted the site to be easy to use. This implies that the site needs to be more accessible – we need to simplify navigation and provide easier access to the kind of information visitors want. Given this information, we have revised the project goals slightly, to emphasize updated content, simpler navigation and faster download times: 1. Get a diverse audience excited about OpenHealth.in 2. Increase usability 3. Educate that audience about OpenHealth.in role, services The target user for this site will be between 10-70 years of age. They will be a novice web user who understands email and how to use a web browser. This user also accesses the Internet every day.
- 6. Project Phases This project is divided into four phases: In Phase 1, OpenHealth.in site created a site map, strategic brief and this specification, as well as hosting hardware specifications. In Phase 2 site will create the visual design for the web site. We will also implement the core content management engine build and deploy the video library. Phase 3 will extend the content management system to all site areas. Phase 4 will introduce additional interactive tools, widgets and ‘micro sites’ that individuals can maintain. Tools Content Management The new web site will use a content management system. This system will permit staff to edit content using their web browser, without learning HTML. The first implementation of this system will come in Phase 2 – the video library will use the content management engine to allow easy uploads of video content. At the end of phase 3, all site content will be accessible from the content management system.
- 7. Section 3 Hardware & Software specification OpenHealth.in servers will be hosted at the following hardware specification. OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux, Windows XP, windows 7 and later edition Programming Languages: PHP, MY SQL, JAVA SCRIPT Type of project: Web related project Front End: Web 2.0 Back end: My sql Requirements: RAM: 1GB (NOT INCLUDING O.S) Processor Type: Intel / AMD Compatible x86/x64 Dual- Core Processor or better Network 100mbps
- 8. Section 4 Information Architecture Site Structure and Navigation It must allow visitors easy access to all information. As a general rule, no piece of content should ever be more than three clicks away from the visitor. Drawing from the survey results, we will build a site structure that emphasizes the content visitors most want to see, simplifies navigation, but still allows quick access to all content: First level navigation will be as follows: Home- Current events and special topics. About our earth- Situation about our pollution in India. News. Current events. Crisis- Deals with the problem About us- Description of whom we are, and all our details Links- Links to other sites, articles and written resources, as well as the video library. Control- This deals with the control of air, water pollution in India. Activities- It deals with the current activities in India about pollution.
- 9. All pages will include a set of secondary ‘standard’ links, as well: Feedback. The survey has proved invaluable – we will continue to offer surveys as a way of measuring visitor satisfaction with the site, and to determine how to evolve the site over time. Search. A full-text search of the entire site. Fully implemented after Phase III. Join OpenHealth.in- Registration form.. Contact. Contact information Email Newsletter Sign up.

- 10. Section 5 Site Design Aesthetic/HTML Requirements and Guidelines The site must deliver a compelling visitor experience. However, it cannot sacrifice usability and accessibility – web site should be, first and foremost, make its rich content offering available to as diverse an audience as possible. The ENDPOLLUTION web site ‘look’ must conform to the following requirements: The site should be HTML 4.0 compliant. All pages (except video or multimedia) must download in less than 10 seconds over a 56k modem connection. All pages must fit in a web browser displayed on a computer set. All pages must use a web safe colour palette. The site must be compatible with Internet Explorer 4, 5 and 5.5, and with Netscape 4-6, as well as AOL 4.0 and later, and Opera. The site should not use frames. All site pages should be available for search engine robots. All pages that use multimedia, such as Flash, must ‘sniff’ for the correct plug-in and display a static image if necessary. Application Layer Specifications
- 11. Architecture and Requirements By the end of Phase 4, OpenHealth.in team will include the following functions: Content Management and on demand streaming media library Opt-in email newsletter and new content notification Micro sites Surveys Site linking/partnership program This section includes a brief description of each functional component, plus requirements and use cases for each potential user of that component. The OpenHealth.in site will consist of five conceptual components: The public web site is the content that most visitors can see. The administration web site is the interface for managing content and sending bulk emails. The CMS is the engine for managing site content. A Security layer controls the administrative functions that different staff can access. Security The site administrative functions – both email and content management – will be protected and organized by a security layer. When staff log into the administrative site, the security layer will determine their user level (administrator, editor or author) and what site areas and tools they can use.
- 12. Requirements Architecture of 'OpenHealth.in' website Content Management System: Administration
- 13. OpenHealth.in will be a ‘dynamic’ web site – after phase 3, all site pages will be published ‘on the fly’ from a database. The site staff will be able to log into a site administration interface to edit, delete or add pages of content, images and videos to the site. This content management system is the core of the OpenHealth.in site. The Content Management System will support multiple authors in multiple locations, with one or more editors approving content for publication to the site Video Library Administration: Special Requirements The video library will actually be part of the CMS. However, it includes some special requirements: Content Management System: Front End The front-end of the CMS is the public web site. While most of the requirements for this area are covered in Section 5 of this specification, there are some performance and component requirements. Opt-In Email Newsletter and New Content Notification Site visitors will have the opportunity to provide their name and email address, and specify: They will receive regular emails regarding events Micro sites The site will use existing CMS functionality to allow territories and other groups within the site to build and maintain micro sites. section 6
