Good.

Yes.

Uh. Ok. :-) I guess if you want to get that technical in terminology.
Or you can write the picture to simply group C(1) and C(2) into the same
bubble.
As for M(2), I'm not sure I get it. For M(1), are you talking about the
content that happens to reside within the template and M(2) being the data
in the database?
Lastly, one more dimension that we need to start thinking about is adding in
some sort of workflow system to Turbine so that we can control the
application workflow business logic outside of the templates such that you
can define things like this: (for example, with Scarab:)
An issue begins with a status of "open"
The next status is "accepted" and you can't do that unless you also add a
comment to the issue telling why you accept it.
For Scarab 1.0, I will probably just hard code this "logic" into the
template. For 1.1, it needs to be defined in a more easily customizable
fashion. However, I would like to start people thinking and working on
solutions for this now because it is some functionality that we will all
need.
