Milestone Report 1
The main focus of our project is to enable semantic search for books. It also has other features for users, such as following other users, posting short content for specific book pages, liking/disliking posts, and bookmarking book pages. These social features will facilitate community discussions about books and also enable users to meet each other. Each book page will contain information about the book that was searched, such as its title, cover, number of pages, and author. The users will need to register to the platform and will be able to log in using their email/username and password.
We have created a few scenarios and mockups. We have written functional and non-functional requirements and a communication plan for the project. Along with these, we have researched Application Programming Interface, DevOps, Web Application Development, and Mobile Application Development and documented the results for the members of our team to read. In short, we completed almost all tasks for the milestone.

To decide on the meeting time, we used when2meet, the link can be found here.
We extensively used Google Meet for our meetings, created a calendar invite for our weekly recurring meeting to easily manage our time and use automatically generated meeting links.
Our first issues were closed by the creator. But later we concluded that assigning someone else to review by mentioning them in the issue comments made everything easier. We also made our own issue template that can be found here. With this issue template, it was easier to use a unified structure to find relevant issues later easily.
To decide we used starpoll, the issue we created to decide on our domain: https://github.com/bounswe/bounswe2024group3/issues/48 Where anyone can see the poll result here
To decide on the project name we created an issue first: https://github.com/bounswe/bounswe2024group3/issues/49 Then in our weekly meeting we resolved this issue by collectively selecting a name that satisfies everyone.
We decided to go with simple mobile app mockups to demonstrate the functionality, since the same functionality can be used on web apps.
One of the main problems of our group was organizing the meetings. We met challenges while deciding a time for the meetings for the deliverables, so most of the time it was harder to get together than to take the necessary actions. To solve this problem, we started to plan the meetings in a way that the people who cannot attend will accept the responsibilities assigned by the attendees. Another difficulty we met was the nonfamiliarity with the tools that we needed to use such as Github Roadmaps. Not knowing when, why or how to use such tools was challenging sometimes. We tried to overcome this issue by splitting the issues into learning and implementing parts. Another difficulty was mainly about the concepts that the course covers. Since the content of the class is quite different from the classes we are used to, there were moments when we didn't have a clear idea about what we should do. Additionally we had problems stem from everyone being responsible more or less for everything. We believe it will change with the process since we will be specializing in the future.
Our project plan is on Github Projects at this link.

We initially chose WhatsApp for its convenience in facilitating quick, informal communication among team members. It proved useful for sending reminders and sharing urgent updates. However, we noticed that it wasn't ideal for project communications due to the mixture of general and project-oriented conversations. A more centralized platform integrated with our development environment might be more effective for project communications.
GitHub serves as our centralized repository for code, enhancing collaboration and version control. The use of GitHub Projects and Issues has allowed for organized task tracking and assignment to specific team members. We heavily utilized the issue and assignee system, along with the project management features, to implement and track to-dos and dones.
Discord has been invaluable for direct communication with the course assistant, enabling us to clarify misunderstandings and learn information that was initially unclear.
Google Meet is our go-to platform for regular communication and collaboration among team members. It's effective for conducting meetings, discussing project updates, and decision-making, allowing us to plan our time in advance effectively.
Documenting decisions and discussions in meeting notes has been crucial, providing a reference for future actions and ensuring accountability and follow-up on action items. We upload these documents to GitHub for easy future reference.
The review process, involving multiple team members, ensures quality control and incorporates diverse perspectives into project development. This promotes knowledge sharing and skill development, with a built-in system to catch any missed issues.
As we progress, we are considering the following adjustments:
- Enhance training on GitHub's advanced features: Leveraging more advanced features of GitHub could improve our project management and collaboration. Additionally, exploring tools like MS Project for better planning could be beneficial.
- Refine the review process: Making the review process more structured and feedback-oriented, utilizing GitHub's built-in review features, could enhance the quality and efficiency of our work.
