Overview

Webber is a program to generate web pages. I’ve designed it specifically to generate my home page, which is really just a list of links, a few files and a few scattered images.

This spec is not, by any stretch of the imagination, complete.

Scenarios

User Danny wants to create a web page. He doesn’t know much about web pages, but he wants to have a place to link to and talk about all of his favorite bands. Danny sorts his favorite bands by the date of their most recent album’s release. As such, he changes the ordering of his favorite bands often.

Non Goals

We will not have support for style attributes in this release.

I’m not sure that a flowchart makes a lot of sense here, as the program isn’t very interactive. Or, more accurately, it’s not interactive.
