Started a project outside school -- Finally!

I started a project with a few colleagues from college. It's meant to help you use public transportation. We wish to solve difficulties like having to check multiple websites and manually cross-referencing information, just so you can catch the right bus(or buses) to get you to your destination. We consider this to be hard, so we are creating a website, coupled with an android app and a smartphone-ready website, to help people find their way using public transportation.

It's probably going to be hard, since we're thinking of putting up a graph structure for our app, and we'll search it quite often, so we need to optimize a lot!

I've read somewhere that drawing the interface of a user-interfaced application helps programmers in its development. Since we don't really know where to start and our ideas for features are a little vague, That's where we start :)

I'm really excited about this. It could become big, but even if it doesn't, it's bound to be a wonderful learning experience.
