+
+coala doesn't help the user unless the user is familiar with its settings and
+bears. coala-quickstart is the project to handle this situation by asking the
+users general questions about their project and producing a config file to lint
+their code.
+
+Currently coala-quickstart asks the user a lot of questions, and usually
+generates a `.coafile` which causes coala-ci to generate errors.
+There is a need for production of config files which yield 'green' results
+which adapt the bears and their settings according to the project. This mode
+would run coala many times in order to answer questions itself, altering bear
+settings each time to find the set of settings which produces the least amount
+of errors, and where necessary adds ignore for the remaining files.
+
+ **Note:** coala-quickstart also has a `--ci` mode where it skips the questions
+that require user interaction while the `--green` mode should determine optimal
+answers by running coala and running from its output.
+
+This will lead to easier and increase in adoption of coala across organizations
+and user projects. This would initially configure the bears to agree with the
+repo maintainers' existing coding style, that will result in a quickly mergable
+Pull Request adding the `.coafile`. They can then make changes to the `.coafile`
+and their coding style whenever they want to, or when the bears start supporting
+their repositories' intricacies.
+
+This project also aims to identify many large complex repositories in the early
+phases, and work towards detecting those repos' settings automatically and
+correctly.
+
+
+#### Milestones
+
+##### PREPARATION/BONDING
+
+- Design documentation about how to approach the problem.
+
+- Make and merge a cEP addressing the following points:
+
+  - How do you plan to scan through the files for possible bear settings.
+
+  - How do you plan to tackle conflicting bear settings in the whole project.
+
+  - What are you plans on reaching other organizations for adoption of coala
+    and the green mode config file in their codebase.
+
+- The participant should get familiar with the coala-quickstart repository
+  and make plans to utilize the already existing resources provided by
+  coala-quickstart on collecting metadata and detecting inconsistencies
+  in the code.
+
+- The participant should come up with an initial set of organizations to
+  serve as a measure of the effectiveness of the project in later phases.
+
+##### CODING PHASE 1
+
+- Framework for iterating through files has been constructed.
+
+- Identify some bears with few *mandatory* settings which are easy to
+  identify, and simple optional settings based upon the code provided.
+
+##### CODING PHASE 2
+
+- The project is able to deliver config files yielding absolute *green* results.
+
+- Subtle intricacies and border edge cases have been identified, planned on
+  how to tackle them.
+
+##### CODING PHASE 3
+
+- Final complete config files are deliverable by the project for any given
+  codebase.
+
+- A genuine effort has been made to submit Pull Requests to other orgs with
+  the generated config file with supplementary CI configuration needed to
+  run `coala-ci`.
