[Zope-Moz] Design discussion (was RDF Use cases)

[Paul Everitt]

Quick time out!  Let's state some ground rules...

1) Please remove additional people from the addressing line.  I got two
copies of every message on this thread.

2) Use cases are focused on how someone interacts with the system.  They
shouldn't have anything to do with technologies.

3) Most important, this is *NOT* a project to collect all the "Boy, I
wish Zope would..." requirements.  Let's face it, collecting website
traffic statistics is outside the scope of the Zope Studio, as Zope
doesn't do that now.  Though all the ideas are great, let's remember
that we don't want to keep a good Zope Studio hostage to extraneous
requirements.

I propose that we adopt "Role Verbs Noun" as the title of use cases. 
For instance, "Content Manager Edits Document" or "Manager Adds
Portal".  We then discuss the sequence of activities and branches for
each use case.
