fyi: an issue around creating glossary is at 
https://github.com/almighty/almighty-devdoc/issues/56

> Alongside the discussions we had on this list last week, could I ask 
> the
> UXD team to take the lead on moderating the definitions and 
> relationships
> among the following constructs?  A graphical representation of
> relationships where appropriate would be wonderful.
>
> * "Almighty System" - An instance of Almighty.  Contains all "Almighty
> User" accounts and "Almighty Projects".
> * "Almighty Project" - A top-level container for an application shared
> among users/teams.  May hold N "Codebases", has issue tracking, build 
> and
> deployment environments.  Eventually will have realtime 
> communications.
> * "Codebase" - Basically a repository.  Can be N in a "Project"
> * "Environment" - Target for running builds or deployments
> * "Almighty User" - My account
> * "Workspace" - The WebIDE view of an "Almighty Project".  Contains 
> the
> "Codebases", each of which may require its own Stack to be 
> built/tested.
> * "Stack" - Runtime to build a codebase or deploy its resultant 
> artifacts.
> In practice, equates to an image which may be run as a container.  
> NOTE:
> currently Che, as I understand it, has one Stack per Workspace.  We'll 
> need
> to address that in order to support opening, for instance, a Java 
> codebase
> and a Node codebase in the same workspace.
> * Other important concepts I've missed here
>
> The terms definitions I'm using here are placeholders and could likely 
> do
> with something else that's descriptive and not so overloaded.  The
> definitions are also up for debate -- everything is open to review 
> now, but
> let's try to get things at this level to gel quickly.
