Notes on timelines, deliverables

For the record here is a quick transcription of the whiteboards from
our discussion on deliverables and timelines.

In short, we decided on three milestones:

1. First draft of code framework, with one test working end-to-end (May 1)
2. Mostly finalized framework with the easiest 3/4 of tests implemented (July 1)
3. Final deliverable with all code and documentation (September 17)

These are pessimistic timelines and we hope we can get through this faster.

My transcription of notes follows:


Deliverables

1. Framework + 1 test (+1 test case)
- Requirements (Jo)
- Draft formats (Jo)

2. 3/4 of tests
- Test cases for tests (Dom)
- Finalized formats (Jo)

3. Final deliverable
- More test cases
- Documentation (javadoc, user, developer)
- Bugs?
- Owners?
- Performance?
- Exit criteria?
  - All tested, implemented
  - One user-facing implementation
