ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Without guidance and inspiration nothing is possible in this world. The
project works in an exhaustive exercise and cannot be completed single
handedly. This requires the constant efforts in terms of quality, quantity,
time, dedication, hard work, and also cooperation from the people related
directly or indirectly to the field of project. The role of supervisor is very
important as his help starts from the day of idea of project and continue
throughout, till it is completed. He provides ideology, design and
methodology of the project work and devotes his valuable and considerable
time.
My project ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUM is the outcome of the great
guidance, inspiration and assurance provided by the technical staff at
MECON.
I am extremely thankful to Mr. M Thanga Pandian for his constant
guidance, supervision he gave to the project. I wish my sincere thanks to
him for his active help and cooperation.

CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that the project report entitled ONLINE DISCUSSION
FORUM is an authentic record of the work carried out during the period
from June 2015 to July 2015 under my supervision.

Introduction
PROBLEM DOMAIN
With highly growing of the telecommunication infrastructures, such as
Internet and the development of the high performance have brought about
new era of rapid advances in information technology. Internet has become
an ocean of information related to every aspect which has existence in this
world.
The main purpose of this website is to develop a one roof platform for the
effective interaction, effective exposure, and a right direction toward
communication.
My aim is to provide our users an opportunity to enhance their knowledge
by sharing their views on this platform by having discussions with other
users.
The intended audience is Mecon employees users. This website will act as a
healthy questionnaire which helps to give and get effective solutions with
best of their experience.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
Feasibility study is the first step before starting any project. The main aim of
feasibility study is to determine whether developing the product is
financially and technically feasible or not. In Feasibility study we also test
whether the product would be profitable. The Feasibility study involves the
analysis of the problem and collection of data which would be input to the
system, the processing require to be carried in this data. The output data
required to be produced by the system. The collected data are analyzed to
arrive at the following:

A) Technical feasibility
Technical feasibility means whether the project is working in a
perfect manner. It means the project must support or perform all the
technical functions for which it is implemented. The project
DISCUSSION FORUM through ASP.NET TECHNOLOGY is
technically feasible. This website is well capable of providing a user
good interface thus this project is able to work in effective and
efficient manner.

B) Economical feasibility
Economical feasibility is a term which is related to estimation of
cost required for the project. This project is feasible under the
economic condition.

C) Legal feasibility
Legal feasibility means the developing project must be legal. The
way by which the product is going to be implemented must be legal.
The project must perform a legal task. It must be acceptable
worldwide. The project is not going to perform any tasks which are
not lie under the condition of law. Thus the project must be legal to
use and can be acceptable by the user.

D) Operational feasibility
Operational feasibility means the project must perform its operation
perfectly. If the project is working properly then we can say that the
project is Operational feasibility.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

I put my complete effort in order to provide a complete solution to the target
users under one roof. It is a website of its own kind that provides a ceramic
way to attain and give knowledge.
Here the process of knowledge sharing is concerned with the purity of the
facts and figures collected from various authentic sources. My aim is to help
the passionate people to share their views with its purity and trueness. These
different users can guide each other on various aspects. Beyond this my
website will give the opportunity to every user say a lot of eminent
personalities within the institute who can share their bright knowledge over
the website. Last but not the least this website also gives the opportunity to
the employees for sharing of knowledge and for utilization of the efforts by
gaining the knowledge.
