System Architecture Docs (figures mostly

w/ ppt)Location in the code?

DoxygenGenerated automatically for interfaces/prototypes

UML Representation of the code

(??? Needs review)

Documentation (2/2)

Update twiki with installation instructions, coding guidelines, etc

Update system architecture (basic overview) with evolving code ->RG can start the initial work with individual contributors– System arch is needed for code quality, scalability, etc for 5G!!

Update doxygen to reflect new function prototypes

Find a good balance with documentation Vs Coding– Agree on this meeting what we will do and NOT do!!

Use IPE or similar tool for drawing figures for system arch. Rohit to make proposal for figure layouts

Use latex for compiling manuals/documents for explaining system architecture

ToDo: Agree on time next week for Doxygen comments

ToDo: Agree on location of documentation on the code/bscw server
