Architecture Update [DW]

  • Features/dependencies document updated - see email thread and spec
  • API scanning tool and "reliance" tools update: Will revive tool against current component.xml files; also need to update the component files themselves for accuracy.

  • Should do a scheduling checkup in early January on execution of this plan.
