Future plans:
Before creating we should collect the data(feedback) from Mentors, Mentees, Maintainers and Developers.
Then we can extract data from the feedback forms and create the document.
While the feedback data is been collected, we can create the diagrams (ERD, Component diagram, Architecture Diagram, Usecase Diagram).
Anjula will create the timeline and assign members to create the diagrams
Timeline and Diagrams should be delivered on Saturday 2 October.Preformatted text
