Re: [sdd] [glossary] Initial vs. Default Configuration

[James Falkner <james.falkner@sun.com>]

At yesterday's concall, we agreed to have all three definitions in the
glossary.  The agreed upon definitions are:

Configuration: "A specific set of values defining a given instance of
a solution." (no change from current glossary)

Initial Configuration: "The configuration in effect when the system is first
deployed"

Default Configuration: "The configuration supplied by the solution provider"

Who has the glossary pen?  Whoever that is, please make these modifications
as soon as convenient.  Thanks!
