SalesAnalysis.co.uk development underway

Finally I've managed to put some time aside to start building parts of SalesAnalysis.co.uk.

Although incredibly ambitious in the long term we've identified a set of achievable goals to get us started.

The first step is to build the data-dictionary storage engine onto which a large part of the system will be built so there are lots of crucial decisions being made at the moment. XML is the obvious format but how and where to store it is the question - in a database - in a file - in many files in some directory hierarchy - initially it's going to be a set of files in a single folder as that's the easiest to implement. As time goes on and version control comes into play that'll have to be re-engineered but for now it'll get us started.
