+= Papywizard v2 internal design =
+
+This is a draft document.
+
+== Framework ==
+
+The idea is to entirely build Papywizard as a framework, where different parts are just services, so new features can be added by users, at least to prototype them. It is also better for upgrading only a few parts of the code.
+
+=== Engines ===
+
+The core of Papywizard will be build arround '''engines''', which will be hard-coded. Main engines are:
+
+ * pano engines
+  * mosaic engine
+  * preset engine
+ * timelapse engine
+
+Engines can use other engines (ex: a timelapse pano).
+
+=== Plugins ===
+
+Engines will use some plugins to be able to achieve their purpose. These plugins will be splitted in categories:
+
+ * axis control - axis can be manual
+ * camera shutter triggering - through hardware, tethered
+ * hardware communication - transport and protocol
+ * timer/intervalometer - or is it timelapse?
+ * display - shooting area, text area, custom
+ * GPS
+ * data storage - file, database, server...
+ * analysis - picture control for automatic bracketing
+
+A plugin should be able to :
+
+ * register itself in the framework according to its interface
+ * add GUI features (display, preferences...)
+ * be dynamically enabled/disabled
+ * check if dependent plugins are available
+
+=== Services ===
+
+Services are low-level features, like logging, persistence, configuration...
