Software architecture

The purpose of this document is to define a software application designed specifically to match the platform specification which is summarised following:

Platform: In the Organic Design context, platform refers to an organisation that is using the platform specification as the foundation of it's system design, so that it operates in accord with the values outlined in our charter and manifesto. Part of the platform specification is that all platforms have some common departments such as networking and deployment which allows them to share knowledge and create new Platforms through common interest and shared vision. The platform network refers to the collection of all the platforms connected together to form a global peer-to-peer network that achieve their goals together in alignment with each other and the common good using self governance.

The software architecture describes the implementation of the specification within the context of our own Linux distro (eventually a GNU Hurd distro) which has a web-desktop integrated at the Window-manager layer. We will make it available in a limited way via exiting operating systems running a client application, and in an even more limited way purely from a browser with no client application present, but the primary aim id for end users who are running the complete operating system solution, and this architecture document will be covering that perspective as its default context of discussion.
