2020

Dear new IMAP Team, welcome to this super awesome project!

Be aware that this project has been passed on for generations of SWT teams and will hopefully continue to do so. Therefore it has a lot of legacy code that you will probably have to dive into very deeply. We suggest you ask your tutor what reverse engineering means and how you can use it to start with this project. Trust us, it will help! (We haven't and we regret that!)

During the last iteration we have refactored quite a lot. So has the team before us, and the team before them, and ... you see where this is going. We hope that we have left you relatively understandable code. If that is not enough, have a look at this wiki where we documented some of our findings. Also there might be some good hints in closed issues and their comments. If you have investigated all of these sources and still have questions, feel free to reach out to us.

We are glad you are here and will continue this tradition of IMAP-Refactorings for another year. We wish you the best of luck and don't forget to have fun on the way!

2019

Schön, dass ihr da seid. Das Team aus 2019 möchte euch folendes mitteilen:

• So wie wir werdet ihr einen Haufen Legacy Code vorfinden. Bevor ihr anfangt, Features zu implementieren, macht euch wirklich mit der Codebase vertraut und lernt ihre Probleme kennen. Wir haben in der zweiten Projekthälfte angefangen, eine ganze Menge umzubauen und zu refactoren.

• Organisiert ein Treffen mit uns. Vermutlich kann es euch wirklich helfen, von uns zu erfahren, wie man am besten weitermachen kann.

• Pingt uns auf GitHub an, wenn es um bestimmte Issues geht. Vielleicht können wir euch weiterhelfen :)

• Unsere Vortragsfolien
