You could add the flow/path to make it run thru various sections. 
Watch other good prezis to see you can make it creative. Share the prezi with 
others if 
possible so that they can append their changes.

Lets rename this thread to be the a documentation overview thread. 

Sushant:
The home page looks better than before. Use wiki-markup and add headings, toc, 
references, etc. People should not get bored at the homepage!

All:
For any updates you make to this project website or mindmaps, discuss/notify us 
here.

Sushant: 
You can keep your mindmap issue#5 alive or merge it with this issue as you 
wish.

I dunno how to merge prezis, so we could use the one in issue4 for the things 
what we
ought to do, as in our decisions and thought process.
and use prezi in issue5 for its theory.

I have sent invite to all for prezi group. 

@Manav: If u wish i can delete issue5 and type again in the issue4, will use 
path
feature now, not able to explore much of prezi as too slow net(by gprs :( ). 
Also
tried some wikimarkups in homepage.

Please don't mark my name so boldly everywhere! Its kinda embarrassing looking 
at it! 
:P

Now the homepage looks much better.

@Sushant: 
You keeping issue5 or merging it with this the decision is yours.

Mudit, 

Its about time you started on LaTeX. It is fun and would give much better 
results than MS Word. 

Easy Help on Latex: 
 + See 'Spoken Tutorial' and install:  
   http://www.cdeep.iitb.ac.in/latex_workshop.html#tutorials

 + Your objective would be to learn upto the Equations section thru the simple
   tutorials on http://moudgalya.org

Let us know how soon can you do it!
Manav

I hope work is proceeding well. Please let me know when can you present your 
work? I will expect a working demo and a clean presentation latest by 
Wednesday, 16th June. 

As a sidenote - Here is a testament all developers should read:

The graph looks good. But the interface can be improved further. Make the 
interface look professional.

Quick Review of PPT (general comments): 

+ Put pictures for your ppt; Show graphs / photos.
+ Don't say "wrote code for so and so"; Say what you've successfully tested. 
+ And remove redundant slides/pictures. Choose the best ones that justify a 
point.
+ Start with the Agenda (Slide) you have in mind for the presentation.

A short read on PID Tuning: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller#Manual_tuning
-- 
Search for "Manual PID Tuning" and point us to useful articles.

Presentation Idea: 

+ I think its still a great idea to talk about "Why is PID (control) 
important?" 
+ And you would also be able to demonstrate how difficult it is to handle an 
inverted pendulum at this stage.

Good Luck!
