Hello TSC and members of the Helium Release:

Please find attached an architectural diagram describing the components that make up Helium.  This diagram is in the same format as the one we used to describe Hydrogen so users familiar with the former can have a frame of reference.  This diagram is not pretty and please spend no effort in trying to make it so.  Once the technical content is verified, I'll send if off to folks in the LF that are masters at making it look pretty.  For now, I'm just looking for accuracy and completeness.  So please review it with that in mind and provide me any feedback that you have by Friday (9/19).

Given that we are going out with a karaf-based, user-selectable set of features for Helium, the attached diagram is not sufficient in explaining to our users what is available (ie what they can select) and the features/functionality they get from each potential selection.  So I believe we need another diagram, or set of diagrams, and concise, descriptive text for each user visible feature.  What are your thoughts on this?  Are there other/better ways of representing the user-visible features within ODL?  If nothing better is proposed, I'll reach out to each project contact for that short, concise feature description.

Thanks,

Phil.
