This document is nearly 2 years old and widely outdated. I feel
absolutely sorry for our incomplete and outdated documentation. It's a
pain to see how they are misleading people that look at the project.

We have talked about a webpage redesign. Maybe we should go through the
docs and remove the outdated ones - I believe that no documentation is
better than documentation that simply tells wrong stuff.

In our n-tier setup, there will be the "GNU Enterprise Application
Server" which maps business objects into database tables. The person
creating a module for GNUe will design business objects instead of
database tables.
