= Introduction =
The Free Orderman System (FOS) wants to be a free solution for ordering management in bars, pubs, restaurants, clubs and so on. As an open source project it will be a fast, secure and simple software accessible to everyone.

== The FOS Development Team ==
The team consists of Alex Mazzon (18) and Florian Mahlknecht (18).

== The Idea ==
Alex: 

«''The idea to create a free order-man system was born in Innsbruck when I worked as waiter in an Italian restaurant last summer. There I discovered that a order-man system costs a big amount of money. I never thought about it but as I realized the real cost I had an idea: Why not use smartphones as “ordermans” and connect them to a common PC?''. I presented my idea to my classmate Florian and we decided to realize the project together.»

== Motivation ==
Basically we need three things to create a really cheap order-man system:

* a smartphone
* a computer
* and a printer

Actually these three things are already available in nearly every bar or restaurant. From a small village pub to the most hidden refuge up in the mountains.

Just one thing is missing: the software.

== Documentation ==

Global documents for the documentation of FOS:
*[[Requirements Specification]]
*[[Database Design]]

=== How to write the FOS documentation ===
When we begin to develop a new version of FOS the first thing to do is to plan and schedule the whole work. This means:
* Add all the new requirements to the [[Requirements Specification]]. If the requirement for the new version is already described in this document this requirement will be updated.
* Make sure that the database provides all data that the new version of FOS will use
* Create the use cases
* Create the milestones and the related blueprints

=== Glossary ===
All specific words and abbreviations used in the FOS documentation are explained here:
* '''FOS''':
FOS is the abbreviation for ''Free Orderman System''
* '''orderman''':
Whenever the words ''orderman'', ''orderman interface'' or ''orderman application'' are used in the FOS documentation the interface which allows the waiter to order is meant.
