^{....meta-ticket #666 ➞ dependency graph}

operations accessible for users

For this milestone to be reached, the fundamental operations you'd expect from a video editing software can be accessed by a user (not a developer!). This means that the basic distribution/release model is set up, a user is able to compile Lumiera or install an existing package. Moreover a user should be able to create/open a session file (without any quirks), add some media (probably only a limited number of media types will be supported), and then perform the most basic operations like positioning, trimming, copying, playing and finally rendering the timeline -- solely through the GUI without any quirks and without the help of an developer. If so, the initial integration phase is closed and Lumiera has reached alpha level.
