Good question.  Is that really the name of the app?

Is "contract" or "service contract" not a concept that applies to all uses of 
the ARP GUI?  I've begun the coding for the app - specifically modelling the 
important abstractions I see.  The "DEFINITIONS" sidebar has been helpful.  
But you're saying that these definitions might not apply to all uses of the 
app?

What config data would the app need, exactly?  Has that been hammered out 
anywhere?  I'm reverse-engineering some of it from the mockups.

It also appears to me that sometimes people have used the term "config data" 
to mean information that would be provided by the targets - ie, from some 
kind of information source.  IE, not application configuration data per se.
