User manual

Health and Safety: There are no health or safety issues related to our project. The only
possible safety issue is if the wrong person came in possession of phonebooks they were
not supposed to have.
Manufacturability: The Centralized Phonebook Database would not be hard to
manufacture. It would only take design and implementation time and resources for a
complete setup of the system. No new technology or hardware would need to be created
which minimizes manufacturing costs.
Sustainability: The Centralized Phonebook Database is very sustainable. Once up and
running, it should take little or no managing. The only issue that might arise is the size of
the storage used to store the phonebooks. This could be accounted for before creation or
dealt with as needed.
Environmental Impact: There should be no environmental impact. The system only
adds features to existing architecture and equipment.
Usability: Usability was a major factor during the design of the system. Therefore, there
are no major usability issues. The issues are present are due to restrictions, limitations, or
lack of a better solution.
Lifelong Learning: This project helped us learn many new skills. The most tangible
skill we learned is using new languages and software such as Perl, database interaction,
and the voicemail client. More broadly, the project helped us work on a project outside
of class with less direction and criteria. This gave us the freedom and difficulty of
dealing with a large project.
Compassion: The whole aim of this project is alleviate the suffering of a person who is
temporarily separated from their cell phone and needs to contact someone in their
phonebook. The project’s goal is to offer a service that makes people’s lives simpler and
easier.
