- * engines - pano (mosaic, preset), timelapse
- * axis - axis can be manual
+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).

+Engines will uses 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

  * data storage - file, database, server...

+A plugin should be able to :
+
+ * provide a service
+ * 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 ====
