IN PROGRESS

Points

1. this doesn't take into account project-data's Atomization as represented in OKF Schema's

2. This doesn't explicitly talk about its relationship with the Library File Structure
   a. Alpha
   b. Beta
   C. Stable

3. This doesn't explicitly talk about its relationship to the pipeline
   A. Ideation
   B. Project Selection
   B. Interim Design Review
   C. Final Design Review

Note: given the current structure of the Library where do Ideation Project live? In a repo?
