Notes

Evaluate the Fedora 3 API. Decide whether or not it will be suited as the interface to the DOMS system.

Regard the the Fedora 3 API. Decide on the following questions:

• Is it sufficiently powerful for the GUI?
• Is it of sufficient granularity for the GUI
• Is it to powerful, and should it be restricted? If so, how?
• Will additions to the API be required?

Produce a report with the answers. In particular, if the answer is no, the reasons must be detailed.

This action quickly ended in implementing APIs for both Fedora and other supporting modules, making webservices for them, and making mockups.
