Mar 13, 2009 GATE Village

I've made some very good progress on the design of GATE Village, fleshing out the general architecture and about 90% of the database structure. The details are not only uninteresting but they are also Intellectual Property of GATE and so to no one's surprise, I'll refrain from exposing them here but I will say that the design principles include: confidentiality of data, integrity of data, and non-repudiation (this means that Members won't be able to deny that they performed the transactions, the audit log of the transactions will prove otherwise). All boring but necessary stuff to ensure the integrity of GATE Village.
