Just wondering, what EXACTLY constitutes a document in Lenya terms?

[Disclaimer: I am not a Lenya dev.]

Document = related information maintained together. Related information = Different subjects require separate documents. Content and information about the content is kept together. Content
could be many fields describing one  item: name, identifier, price,
quantity in stock.  A document can include information retrieved from
other systems.

Maintained together = Security and workflow must be the same for all
information in a document.  A webpage with sections controlled by
separate groups of people should be multiple documents because each
section has different security requirements.  The same applies if
sections require different workflow.  The information in a document is
stored together: one file for the normal repository, accessible as one
entry with the new repository.

A document is purely about maintenance.  Informational display is
handled by the application, and can be a subset of the document (most
websites hide revision information) or a set of several documents (a
page displaying several blog documents, or a catalog of items.)

Thank you,

So basically that means so long as I establish a 'document definition', include 
it in the doctypes, create a document by my own means(previous post 'q. about 
tasks, new documents, and a whole lot more') I should be ok?

How do I go about initialising the workflow history etc?

Thanks.
