Milestone 1

[michielbdejong]

Copied from the proposal:
The budget is primarily for human labour to realise the project's goals. The work will build on the foundations of the prior Federated Timesheets project, by establishing a federation involving several systems for issue-tracking (in addition to time-tracking), with the added capability of live data-sharing between a subset of those systems.

To underpin this, Milestone 1 will deliver the vital prerequisite work of thinking through the theoretical grounding of the federation, addressing the technical challenges captured below (including the implications for privacy and transparency), and specifying explicitly a follow-on iteration of the “federation protocol” described there. Estimated effort: 210 hours (MdeJ: 112,5h, AGM: 75h, GS: 22,5h).

What should be the deliverable?
I'm thinking maybe something like: pseudo code and elaborate and well-structured documentation (probably about 20 pages or so) for all the components involved in both timesheets and task tracking, with detailed lists of design choices and options.

As discussed in today's standup, one topic would be to document how edits are shown to the user.
Notes from @mlesmenio:

Two-way sync:

Maybe merge information as stated by different users in order to have 1 truth that supports multiples truths (e.g: Manuel said X, Michiel said Y);

Maybe expose a Github interface;

One-layer for state
One-layer for history of state changes
One layer for merge operations
