Task Classification - Real-Time Distributed Auction System (Updated)
Overview
This document classifies all remaining project tasks by category, priority, and assignment. Each team member owns complete modules (backend + RMI + GUI) to minimize overlap and ensure clear integration points.
Current Status: Infrastructure complete, controllers need implementation
Revised Module-Based Ownership
🔵 BLUE - Authentication, Admin & Seller Module (Member 1)
Login flow, server connection, admin operations, User Dashboard, CSV export, backups
Owns: GalleryController, AuctionDetailController, PollingService, bidding/gallery service methods
🟣 PURPLE - Integration & Testing (Both Members)
Daily integration sessions, end-to-end testing, deployment, final demo

Conflict Prevention Rules
Module Ownership: Each member fully owns their module files
Shared Interfaces: IAuctionService changes require team discussion
Daily Sync: Never go more than 24 hours without merging to develop
Communication: Announce file changes in group chat before modifying
Backup Plan: If conflict occurs, revert to morning's stable version
Priority Legend
High: Must complete for basic functionality (blocks other tasks)
Medium: Important but can be deferred if needed
Low: Nice-to-have features, complete only if time permits
