Yes, of course. We must decide the fs layout first but we are very close
to a final design.

This is no problem because they can build the hierarchy like they want
via ./configure.

Inbound and outbound are the directories where data is stored which must
be exported and imported (e.g. signed and encrypted PIN-mails).

The actual name is /usr/local/openca/data/
All recommendations are welcome.

I want to devide into data, configuration and code. The organization of
the code is now very close to the optimum but the configuration and the
data is still mixed. We have the database (OpenCA::DB), the
export/import-data and the configuration in the same directory. Many
distributions place the configuration in /etc but the data in /var so we
should support such a behaviour.

The databases are used by all servers and the export and import are done
by ca and RAServer.
