Hello Kim, (01)
Great questions ... thanks for bringing them up. My take below (but I
have as much say as anyone else on the team.) (02)

[ppy] ref. the disposition of the team in our 2010.10.15 discussion -
see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2010_10_15#nid2J4G
- that outlines some of the key tenets that we will try to bound
ourselves to. Apart from those mandates, we do want to integrate all
team members' established, ongoing project that they are planning to
bring to the table right now ... and collaboratively tweak our
thinking on the architecture & API to accommodate everyone as much as
we can. (04)

[ppy] except for the key tenets (and of course the OOR mission), we
are totally open to accept anything. The team, as a whole, drives the
process. And, like all open projects, those who contribute more, have
more influence over the outcome. (06)

[ppy] the community *is* already there, and we do have a code-base
(the BioPortal contribution) which we just "forked" from ... affording
us the opportunity to explore different possibilities. ... You said it
very nicely, Yes! We need "to define the architecture on a general
level and the APIs, which [...] divide the system in to modules
[allowing various pieces] to [be] implemented by different OOR related
teams." (08)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
