Hello everyone,
*I am a GSoC 2018 intern working on the Group Service for Apache Fineract CN, I have learn alot from the community over the past few months and I am very grateful to the community, the developer and architects of this great platform. I am also thankful to my mentor, Awasum and Isaac Kamga for all the patience and help offered this far.My project was divided into 2 phases:1. Was to consume the existing Group APIs available in Fineract CN and incorporate them(UI) into fims web app2. To add group management features and extend the backend to take more group lending and savings use cases. So far I am almost done with consuming the existing endpoints within fims, Thanks to Mark Van Veen for all the help. I am getting ready to start working on the backend and I will like help on the following:a.) It will be great and will ease my work if someone could help me with the design, architectural and user specs for the current implementation of groups so that I can complete the backend as originally intended.I am hoping there was a design document or an approach used when this service was initially developed. Markus, Myrle, please help me here and I will really appreciate it to get some clarification and additional help with the specifications and how I might proceed.b.) I will need help understanding how I might link groups service to work with deposit and portfolio services to provide group savings and lending. And also how this might affect accounting service.c.) I will like help if other business users identify and elicit requirements on Confluence wiki about group lending and savings use cases. If they are written down, it will be great, if you answer on site here..I can gather the requirements together and put in Confluence. Ashok and Ed are already helping with getting Pembe and I to understand the group requirements and we need more input.Thanks very much.Ruphine Kengne*
