This document describes a student project called Jokes4Miles that aims to build the funniest joke database. It introduces the four students working on the project and their roles. It outlines the project timeline and challenges of scalability, large data volume, limited hardware resources, and delivering consistent content on a nonprofit budget. It discusses the database design process, data modeling, implementation, and integration with the website. It also covers lessons learned around normalization issues, resolving many-to-many relationships, organizing meetings, and creating complex queries.
