+## Plan: HumHub Animal Rescue Project — Discovery & Planning
+
+**TL;DR:**  
+This plan outlines the steps to move from the current HumHub setup to a detailed, actionable implementation plan for the Animal Rescue platform. The focus is on clarifying requirements, identifying dependencies, and structuring the project for effective execution.
+
+---
+
+**Steps**
+
+### Phase 1: Requirements Clarification & Context Gathering
+1. **Inventory Current State**
+	- List all installed HumHub modules and their configuration status.
+	- Document user roles, spaces, and permissions currently set up.
+2. **Clarify Feature Requirements**
+	- For each major feature (custom pages, profiles, resource/event/animal/volunteer/donor management, intelligent matching, donor perks), gather:
+	  - Detailed functional requirements
+	  - Data model needs
+	  - Workflow expectations
+	  - Access control/privacy requirements
+	- Clarify what "configurable" means for each interface.
+	- Define requirements for integrations (donations, social media, etc.).
+3. **Identify Technical Constraints**
+	- Determine which features can be built with existing HumHub modules vs. which require custom development.
+	- Identify any third-party dependencies or APIs needed.
+
+### Phase 2: Design & Planning
+4. **Draft Data Models**
+	- Propose data structures for animals, events, resources, volunteers, donors, and organizations.
+5. **Workflow Mapping**
+	- Create workflow diagrams for key processes (animal intake, event creation, volunteer scheduling, etc.).
+6. **UI/UX Planning**
+	- Outline interface requirements for each user type and feature.
+7. **Security & Privacy**
+	- Define access control, privacy, and data retention policies.
+
+### Phase 3: Implementation Roadmap
+8. **Prioritize Features**
+	- Sequence features for phased implementation (MVP, Phase 2, etc.).
+9. **Module Configuration & Customization**
+	- Plan configuration of existing modules and scope for custom modules/pages.
+10. **Integration Planning**
+	 - Identify and plan for payment, social media, and other integrations.

+**Relevant files**
+- README.md — Project vision, goals, and high-level requirements
+
+---
+
+**Verification**
+1. Review and confirm the inventory of modules, users, and spaces.
+2. Validate requirements and workflows with stakeholders (admins, rescue owners, volunteers, donors).
+3. Ensure all technical and integration requirements are documented.
+4. Confirm that data models and workflows align with organizational needs.
+5. Review security and privacy plans for compliance.
+
+---
+
+**Decisions**
+- The plan is strictly for discovery and requirements gathering; no implementation will begin until all ambiguities are resolved.
+- All features and workflows will be mapped before any code or configuration changes.
+- Scope includes only what is outlined in the README and clarified during requirements gathering.
+
+---
+
+**Further Considerations**
+1. Should the MVP focus on a subset of features (e.g., animal intake, event management) or aim for broad coverage?
+2. What is the preferred method for gathering detailed requirements (workshops, interviews, surveys)?
+3. Are there existing HumHub modules or third-party tools that can be leveraged to reduce custom development?
