Talk:Platform specification

This is the the specification of the business-sitter definition of the Platform business template. This specification will evolve into a full Peer application as soon as development permits. Please note: "Application" is a legacy term used for clearer understanding. In the Peer, applications are unified into workspaces.

Further notes to enter:

1. Conceptual

What is being created is the "business-sitter definition" of the Platform template. The tree of roles and departments is one way to view these things, and they all have recurring aspects (the three), which correlate to instance (current state) view and the related workspaces which are more global and template-based (?).
