Engineer's Casenotes

These case notes are intended as a brief list of observations and points for current and upcoming items within the Wiki Design and Implemetation repository. In short: notes to myself, a sort of aide-memoire of things I need to do (or at least think about).

It is written in the form of an engineering log book in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top). I know that GitHub provides similar facilities: issues, milestones, actions &c. all of which have their uses. I just wanted something that was a bit more free-flowing and less official. I also wanted something that I could modify regularly and keep up to date without having multiple commits in the main repository for what were essentially just notes and lists of things to do.

This Case Notes file was created on October 21^st, 2024.
