====== Tools and Methods ======

Everyone has their favourite tools with which they are most productive.
However, in order to work together within a group, it is helpful to have a common subset of tools with which all members are familiar.
For our group, these are:

===== Software =====

* [[https://inkscape.org/de/|Inkscape]] (SVG file format) for vector graphics (signs, illustrations, floor plans)
* [[https://www.python.org/|Python]] and [[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5|PyQt5]] as a general purpose programming language and GUI library
* [[http://jupyter.org/|jupyter Notebooks]] for analyzing and communicating
* markdown
* the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/|Bash shell]] for scripting simple tasks (especially: [[https://www.gnu.org/software/make/|GNU make]], [[https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Renaming-Files.html|GNU rename]])
* [[https://www.seafile.com/en/home/|Seafile]] for sharing documents
* [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki#|DokuWiki]] as a Wiki and CMS for the website

Please install this software and take some time to get comfortable with it.
