We're all out. Let's do some scraping and some planning.

This project ultimately aims to be a tool to make registering for courses and arranging a schedule convenient for students at William and Mary. It will do the following:

• scrape from the publicly viewable William and Mary Open Course List and Banner services and reconstruct a database of courses from that information.
• provide an interface for searching and selection of courses, more flexible, specific, and user-friendly than the search tools of Banner / OCL.
• automatically generate partial or complete schedules based off selected requirements and desired attributes
• suggest alternative classes and schedules that fulfill specified requirements
• display selected courses on a clear, visually compelling weekly schedule, point out conflicts and potential issues
• physically map class locations, plan daily routes through campus, and allow filtering of classes based on proximity of meeting locations over the time between them
