1. Start
        Mr. Kulakov started the meeting at 13:35.

2. Assessment of the situation
        Design is finished.

3. Discussion
        * Design
          - The group decided to add the link structure to the Design
            document and describe changes in the Implementation
            document.
          - Mr. Korzun made a brief review of mistakes made in the
            Design document: 
            o architecture diagrams are hard to understand,
            o many unnecessary repetitions,
            o some inconsistencies in terms,
            o description of expandability is not clear for some
            modules.

        * Test Plan
          - Mr. Kryshen suggested to test modules sequentially:
            reader, reader + mapper, reader + mapper + calculator
            etc. Mr. Kulakov suggested to make unit testing of modules
            separately (this way we will need to write testing
            programs to generate the input data for modules). The
            group decided to try the second approach first.
          - Mr. Kulakov suggested the following integration testing
            strategy:
            o test interface of each module with the error module,
            o test interface between other modules in the read, ...,
            write sequence when they will be implemented.

        * Plan of the Helsinki group visit
          - for each day of the visit someone will be responsible to help
            the Helsinki group.

4. Action points
        Mr. Kryshen will add the struct link, create a directory and
        adjust the build system for test programs, implement the splitter
        submodule.

        Mr. Kulakov will create the Implementation document.

        Mr. Salo will provide information about the computer class
        equipment and registration procedure to the Helsinki group.

        Everyone will write unit tests and interface (integration)
        tests and continue working on tasks assigned earlier.

5. End
        Mr. Kulakov ended the meeting at 14:25.
