+# Description
+
+YODA is a lightweight library for efficient multi-dimensional histogramming
+and binned data analysis. It provides a lightweight common system for
+Monte Carlo event generator validation analyses, particularly as the
+core histogramming library used by the [Rivet](https://yoda.hepforge.org)
+analysis toolkit.
+
+
+## Task ideas
+
+This project will improve the robustness of the YODA library and
+release system through automated unit-test coverage reports
+by the GitLab continuous integration system, and web-based
+visualization of what code areas need better monitoring.
+
+
+## Expected results and milestones
+
+ * Familiarise with the YODA library;
+ * Familiarise with the YODA unit test system, including current CI scripts;
+ * Hook up existing unit tests with `gcov` and produce a coverage estimate;
+ * Visualize coverage reports and produce web-based status displays;
+ * Trigger automated coverage checks and visual displays in the CI.
+
+## Requirements
+
+ * C++
+ * CI testing
+ * git
