Editing Cipher cracking 2011 weekly progress (section)

=== Semester 1 Mid-Semester Break===

====Steven====
# Mid-semester break work:
#* Detailed examination of code used in cipher scheme testing for 2009 project
#* Completed testing of two more cipher schemes from the Cipher Cross-off List – results yet to be added to project wiki
#* Investigated potential web crawler implementations – research documentation needs further compilation
#* For the purposes of future testing contacted Braden Phillips and learnt how to apply for access to the university servers for additional computing power
# Goals for week 8:
#* Add results of cipher scheme testing to the project wiki
#* Test another cipher identified on the Cipher Cross-off list
#* Further investigation of web crawler implementations. In addition, update supporting documentation
#* Meet with Patrick and discuss compatibility of current web crawler options with regard to the pattern matcher software

====Patrick====
# Work Done this Fortnight
#* Tested and disproved a cipher on the Cipher Cross-off List - the [[Cipher Cross-off List#Alphabet Reversal Cipher|Alphabet Reversal Cipher]].
#* Started modifying text parsing code for html style web pages.
#* Researched web crawling requirements and created a broad web crawler/text parser concept document.
#* Looked into test environments for help in developing the web crawler and identified two possible options: 
#** A closed environment in a local directory
#** Limit the crawling to only pages starting with the start URL. E.g. if the start URL is http://www.adelaide.edu.au, then it should only crawl websites starting with this address – no outside websites.
# Goals for Next Week
#* Test another cipher on the cross-off list.
#* Begin the development of a test environment for the web crawler.
#* More development on the text parser/pattern matcher.
