+# 2023 T2 Handover - Art Gallery Project
+
+Author: Chloe Hulme (Product Lead)
+
+## What we have accomplished
+
+- Preparation for deployment (including selecting GCP and GitHub Actions for CI/CD and deployment,
+  preparaing cybersecutiy policies for deployment, documenting all deployment knowledge - please see
+  deployment documentation)
+- Migrating the API to .NET 8 (including migrating containers)
+- Implementing asynchrony across the Repository Pattern of the API
+- Creating collection with automated testing for API in Postman (see: README in documentation repo -
+  there may be issues with numbers of accounts in the workspace, speak to staff to resolve)
+- Research on IIIF (see documentation repo)
+- Improving lighthouse scores after reviewing Lighthouse report
+- Preliminary designs made in Figma to redo front end
+
+## What we need to do next (in order of priority)
+
+- Update contributing document to require screenshot of working code before merge (otherwise faulty
+  code will break the application)
+- Build additional functional components into the frontend (uploading artworks, artist profiles,
+  differentiating between account privileges - Admin, User, Artist etc.)
+- Finishing redesigns for website (with UCD in mind)
+- Create VS Code Dev containers to streamline development (current containers need to be rebuilt
+  with every change made to code)
+- Integrating Postman tests into CI pipeline on GitHub Actions
+- Build out full CI pipeline (with robust testing) to protect integrity of the code in repository
+- Integrate CD pipeline in GitHub Actions
+- Go through code and remove all secret information (connection strings, variables in docker-compose
+  (db passwords + connection strings) and Dockerfiles, app-settings.json (backend), vue.config.js
+  (frontend), any secrets in CI workflow)
+- Deploy to GCP
+- Continue improving Lighthouse scores
+- Implement IIIF in API
+- Optimise containers (they run really slow)
