      2 At the start of the project the REST API specifications together with the
      3 database schema and Donau protocol was written.
      4 While implementing, the Donau API and DB tests were written to ensure that the
      5 endpoints and database work correctly.
      6 During the project the code was documented and various other documents like
      7 presentations and project summaries were created.
      8 This included a short video, presenting the Donau.

     10 An interview was held with the tax authority Zürich, which has provided
     11 valuable insight in how donations are verified and important aspects that a
     12 system like the Donau should fulfill.

     14 Out of scope was the charity implementation which would have been integrated
     15 into the Taler merchant and the donor client implementation which would have
     16 been integrated into the Taler wallet. Unlike the charity integration, the
     17 donor part of the Taler wallet is payment system dependent.
     18 In other words, since the Taler wallet can only make donations with the Taler
     19 payment system, it could only receive donation receipts for this. The
     20 administrator interface was also not realized, which would have provided a
     21 user-friendly interface to manage the charities. The Android verification
     22 application was also out of scope, as it could only be partially implemented.
