[erik burggraaf]

Exciting!  My organization would definitely use at least the simplest form of such a system but I don't yet have the expertese to set it up myself.

Best,

The "model" and the "data" are all self contained.  This lets you customize "widgets" (ie: an 'accounting card') without affecting other projects.  This is prolly the easiest to implement.

IE: each type of widget has only one 'model' that all projects reference, but you store the 'data' independently.  This lets you update a common "widget" (ie: an 'accounting card') which then auto updates all the projects (then requiring more data to be entered).
