2. Document the site, with on-demand, virtual walkthrough from Factor e Farm
3. Combine user's design specification with available resources and systems requirements of Factor e Farm
4. Collect a team of architects - Franz Nahrada leads this process
5. Evaluations of Team Members' contributions with regard to open source process

• Modular architecture development
