  • Would support windows be defined at Application level rather than Platform (or 'release') level?
    • And what does "supported" mean anyway / LTS discussion
    • The new proposed model brings new focus to this question
  • How will versioning of platforms, applications and modules interact and if there is a need to patch a module, how will the patched version get into the application and ultimately the platform (i.e. what is the equivalent of the CSP?)
  • Who would decide what was in the "functionality" vs "extended" tier for a platform?
  • Which platform(s) would the PC be involved in? 
    • If there was an "App Store" what governance would be necessary (probably a very long term question)
  • Is offering all the modules in the "Extended" tier a requirement of saying you support a platform as a service provider? Or is this not relevant as you could simply have a different platform definition
  • What is the need for the "Flower" release - are their product needs to have named releases?
    • Institution to institution conversations
    • Market conversations / marketing purposes
    • What can we learn from Apple naming conventions?
      • Folio Core → OS?
      • Platform Functionality tier → bundled apps (tend to be updated with OS?)
      • Platform Extended tier → user installed apps? 
  • Assuming we answer most or all of the above, what do prioritization and roadmap process(es) look like?  
  • SIGs - will they become App based?
  • POs - will they become App based?
  • Does the proposal offer the opportunity of moving away from a monolithic frontend, and if so could this open up the ability for institutions to draw on several different options for hosting apps - e.g. have apps hosted by service provider, then self-host a couple of additional apps that they wish to run or have developed locally

What stage are we at?
