commit done 21st october 2007, La Riviere, France

  • At last I moved, which probably helped move some concepts around Opal.
    One big resolution for Open Atlas which was a very centralised architecture and was much to vast and thereby scaring anybody even a little interested in it, even though it's full of great stuff.
    Therefore Opal is turning into a base framework, for thematic modules or portals, specialised in geographic information. A core base code is shared and every functionality will have to be developped in a modular way for reusability by any other module. Modulary Architecture doc
