  * Project board ok as contribution log?

## Yehia Notes
* You need to explain tagging, "common system" also.
* What is a "type of entity" - Type here is misleading
* It is also confusing to say that the system does know the type, it needs to know, otherwise it can't operate on it.
* You need to put an opening/introduction to the background chapter.
* You need to explain whats different: maybe it is performance or usability (user friendliness)
* We have multiple things in life that does the same thing, you shouldn't be worried about doing the same thing. You just have to point out what differs.
* Look for case studies that show your engines strengths.
* "Our engine allows the user to do these other things more easily, while still providing the same level of performance."
* What are these aspects that do or do not need to changed, what is independent of the game engine.
* You should explain the performance downsides of encapsulation.
* Concurrency entails that there are shared resources. Paralell does not, it is about independence.
* Hint about which approach you chose in the ECS.
* Yehia discurages that a sentence starts with a reference or number.
* "In [32] the authors states that..."
* The source is old, the reader would believe that the problem has been solved. State that the problem is not solved is this is what you are trying to highlight.
* Use words that are connected to the subject.
* Section 2.2.3 was too long and it was hard to follow what the meat of the section was. A restructuring is in need.
