+# FAMER - code revision and improvement
+
+This project was initiated in order to revise, improve and enhance the code base of FAMER. In addition, similar to the already existing Gradoop service, a FAMER service will be developed, which should enable a web-based interactive and therefore simplified use of FAMER.
+
+### There are two major tasks to accomplish:
+1.  Refactoring the FAMER code (mainly responsible: Moritz)
+2.  Development of the FAMER service (mainly responsible: Matthias)
+
+### Organization
+* there is a Slack-workspace, please contact [Matthias](mailto:taeschner@informatik.uni-leipzig.de) to get an invitation
+
+## Results of the initial Meeting from 02.07.2019 at ScaDS
+(Alieh, Caroline, Eric, Daniel, Moritz, Matthias)
+
+### FAMER
+* see Milestone for [FAMER 0.2](https://git.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/dbs/FAMER/-/milestones/1)
+* modul-wise refactoring the existing code, no new repository from scratch
+* so far, development has been somewhat unorganized, introduce git development process now:
+  * define issue and work on it in new branch
+  * create pull request
+  * take reviews and merge with code
+* priorities for now: documentation, remove code smells, stable API, compilable code
+* for now, restrict committer to avoid uncontrolled code
+* new module/package for documentation, how-to, etc.
+
+### FAMER-Service
+* web-based interactive application for the use of FAMER
+* integrate service in FAMER repository to keep track of changes, errors, bugs etc.
+* prioritize testing for backend and UI
+* approach to fetch FAMERs available public methods
+
+### Next meeting: 16.07.2019, 11:00, ScaDS meeting room
