Project documentation is maintained in this wiki.

Technical

Information relating to the doing of the project.

• A glossary is provided to ensure that when we use a term we mean the same thing.
• The paper evaluating existing solutions which lead to the Fab project.
• The project's requirements so we know what we're trying to build.
• Investigative work assessing usage of DAG libraries.
• Initial thoughts regarding options for implementing the build graph.
• At some point the tool will need a user interface.

Management

Fab is managed using 'just enough' project management, using project management devices that are useful and/or mandated by its parent programme.

• Project Board documents
• Stakeholder analysis
• Risk & Issue log
• Project plan (including highlight reports)

What's In a Name?

The name "Fab" is a contraction of "fabricate" and is pronounced "fab". It is not an acronym.

Reasons for choosing it include it being short and therefore quick to type. The fact that it is fun doesn't hurt either.
