Hello!

I have a question about this image:

   https://james.apache.org/images/james-schema-subprojects.png


At first glance, I have a good impression of this image. However, when I think 
more deeply, I get the impression that it is conflating two different concepts:

 * System architecture
 * Project structure

When I get this idea into my head, then I am no longer sure about what the 
image is trying to express and I get a confused.

Does it express how the projects are related? If so, then what are all the 
lines and circles for? What is the difference between a “core” project, a 
“linked” project, and a “dependency” project? Why should I care about the 
relationship between the projects?

Or is it trying to relate to how the architecture is chopped up into different 
projects? Does this have any relation to components? What is this trying to 
tell me if it’s not about the concept or the architecture? It’s not like I need 
to administer the different projects and need to know the structure.


Those are just some of the thoughts that come to me. So many other questions 
also pop into my (overly active) mind.


Thoughts?

Cheers,
=David
