Hi Mike,
We are students from Murdoch Uni/Kaplan taking ICT333, and has been tasked to continue on your final year project.
We have gone through the documentation and familiarize with the applications. However, we need further clarifications and have a few questions to ask you.

1. What are the usage for the tables 'acos', 'aros', and 'aros_acos' in the database?
What are the meaning of the data inside these tables?
Do they have any relation to other tables?

2. The SMTP settings during WampServer installation states: "Please specify the SMTP server and the adresse mail to be used by PHP when using the function mail()."
If the user plan to install the system in web-based, what are the inputs for 'Network' and 'Email', rather than leaving them as the defaults of 'localhost' and 'you@yourdomain'?
As we can't assume that all the users will use the system in 'localhost'.

3. When SU/Admin is registering/editing a user data, what are the necessary files associated with the validation stuffs if we want to set any new condition or change the rules (such as min-max length, only allow numeric inputs, etc...).
Where are these files located inside the local folder 'wamp\www' so that we can make the configuration?

4. There are 2 cut off dates, collection date and feedback date in the 'Add Project' page?
What's the difference? Team members can appeal if they are unhappy with the team formation?

5. Any idea if we could have the format of data from Callista?
Since TeamMaker is supposed to be able to upload information from Callista, it's appreciated if we could have the sample data as knowing how the format is stored would be beneficial to us.

Thank you in advance for your help.
