[General] Re: Portal taxonomy

[Alec Flett]

My seven cents:

    * Regarding The "Sidebar" PDF - I'm sure Newbies is supposed to be
      replaced with something less colloquial, but is this "Newbies"
      meaning new developers or new users? Are we planning on user
      and/or sysadmin docs? i.e. how to deploy, how to share, etc?
    * Regarding subsections.. here's my take on Chander front-end,
      here's a first stab:
          o Chandler UI
                + CPIA - some very general CPIA concepts - i.e. how
                  blocks and widgets relate, how we use wxWidgets, etc -
                  leaving out BranchPointBlock for now:
                      # Blocks and Widgets
                      # Events
                      # Using wxPython APIs
                + Advanced CPIA
                      # AttributeEditors
                      # BranchPointBlock
                + The Chandler View (i.e. the root CPIA block)
                      # The Sidebar
                      # KindFilter buttons and views
                      # The Calendar View
                      # The Detail View
                      # The MiniCalendar and Preview Areas
                + Scripting
                + Testing: Functional Tests

I'm probably leaving some stuff out here, but its a decent first cut I 
think...

It saddens me a bit that the developer documentation makes up such a 
tiny part of Ted's graph, but that's probably only a reflection of how 
we developers need to be giving him more feedback...:)
