             Summary: GSOC Refactor Apache Rat Core to a Classic Object Oriented Design
                 Key: RAT-131
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-131
             Project: Apache Rat
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin

A good opportunity for a student interested in Agile, test-first approaches and domain-driven design with a good sense of object-oriented design to showcase their skills and learn about open source development. The emphasis would be on high quality, test-driven code driving a clear, well documented design,
