This slide contains the basic plan of our software project - 'cp-editorial'. It is basically a platform for competitive programmers. Although we have proposed it for our university project, we want to develop it more and launch it to the market.

Existing systems
7
● The only system that is close to ours is stopstalk.
● Other than that, online judges like codeforces, codechef,
hackerrank are popular for their editorials of their problem
archive.
● However, most of the online judge do not have editorial
section.

Limitations of
existing systems
8

9. cp-editorial23 Jul 2019
Technical limitations
There is no scope for
discussion on an editorial
in stopstalk
Other than hackerrank and
stopstalk, most sites have
relatively poor UX/UI
Single editorial for each
problem in most of the
sites.

Problems with community

Abuse of downvote is a
commonplace
Prejudice against
programmer with lower
rating
Coders often get
spam/annoying messages

Feasibility
Analysis
21

22. cp-editorial23 Jul 2019
Technical
Feasibility
Things required to build this project are:
● Programming/Markup languages
○ C#
○ HTML, CSS
● Database
○ MS SQL
● Tools
○ Visual Studio
○ Atom text editor
○ Git
○ GitHub
Also, any user can use this product with the browser installed
on their computer.
22
All tools and stuffs required
to build and use this system
are stable and available for
free. So this project is
technically feasible.

23. cp-editorial23 Jul 2019
Economic feasibility
Development costs:
● Internet bill
● Phone bill
● Time span of 8 weeks
Operating costs:
● Domain service bill
● Hosting service bill
Revenue source:
● Advertisement
● Users’ subscription for paid features
The development cost is one time and low.
Domain and hosting service will require less
than $5 (US) a month, while we can earn
more than $6 (US) form advertisement only.
Users’ subscription for paid features will add
more revenue.
23

24. cp-editorial23 Jul 2019
Operational
feasibility
Our system is feasible from operational
point of view because:
● It is easy for end users to operate it
● No new skills required to use the
website (however, it is expected that
authors of our site have good writing
skills)
● Political or business organizations
do not have any influence on our
system and vice-versa
24

25. cp-editorial23 Jul 2019
Recommendation
25
Our system has
● Requirements that can be fulfilled
through existing technologies
● Value to a community
● Ability to generate revenue
Therefore, it is feasible to build and launch
this system into market.

26. cp-editorial23 Jul 2019
Conclusion
26
cp-editorial is feasible enough to be built
and launched. However, since our system
involves a community, there might need
to update or introduce new features
depending on responses we receive from
the community.
