Absolutely amazing that it's possible to get this kind of application up in a week. Kudos to everyone involved.
That said, make the categorisation buttons AJAX, and can we have higher resolution scans? Or is that how they were supplied? The couple of pages I did had items on them that were basically illegible.
Are you talking about the new system or the old one? The new one is http://mps-expenses2.guardian.co.uk/ - it doesn't seem to fit Ajax quite as well (we should definitely have used Ajax for the first one).
The scans were sized to fit the design - with hindsight, having a "zoom" option would have made sense for some pages. They were large enough for the documents we had in advance, but you can never be entirely sure what the actual released documents will look like.
I was talking about whatever was linked with the post. yes, I think it was the one you mention.
When a user clicks a button to categorise an entry, the whole page reloads - this could be handled by ajax. And yeah the scans could and probably should be bigger.
Not that I want to sound like a jerk because I think you did a phenomenal job. Just suggestions for next time. But seriously you and the NYT are on the cutting edge of this shit and much respect is due.
