Introduction
To improve, organise and identify bottlenecks in the ScholarX platform. An advisory call with Dr. Gloria Padmaperuma and the @EngTeam was held. After the successful call since there were many more points to discuss but little time, we decided to have followup calls.
Purpose of this thread is to document the discussions and highlight the key points.
