[MM>] I will take this one.

[MM>] Why is the box on the left called peer? I know this has been in the
diagram for a while but I think it is misleading. If we show two peers
communicating together via a central SEE architecture then the SEE
architecture appears as a central middleware platform. I think that we want
to show that we can have a p2p network where each node in the network has
some form of the SEE architecture installed on it.

[MM>] You mean the three layers shown in the architecture diagram - problem
solving, application services and base services? This is a good idea.
