Another Data Library

One outcome of the discussion at the Finili Developer Summit was one more library to add to the list — this one not so much a data library, but a document library. The “Re” library is meant to contain the mission statement, documentation, and other documents related to the project, but not used as data by the project and not created by programs in the project. Files in the Re library are not accessible as data to programs in the project, but are accessible in their entirety as documents, for example, to be added to a page layout or converted to another file format, or as templates, into which output from the project’s programs may be incorporated to create new documents.

The Re library might also contain project-level metadata, such as a project title. This kind of item is presumably accessible in some manner for use in the programs.

Re
["About"] Documents. This includes descriptive documents related to the project and other documents, media, and document templates that may be used in the project as documents rather than as data.
