  - Includes the first module with AlphaBeta calculations
  - Continuous Integration is setup (using pytest and github actions for now)
  - Some test data (simple slide topography) is included

- Documentation is setup on readthedocs docs.avaframe.org, with some information related to developing AvaFrame and the AlphaBeta module already being included
