questions:
Stellars needs child nodes to be ordered. The ordering info should be in the input xml when creating a node. After node creation, will Stellar need a way to change the order of a node?
Does Stellar do tagging or any kind of classfication?
Since we are not sure if we will use the api to do authentication or authorization as well as user/group management, the draft doesn't cover those functionalities. Stellar will authenticate to the REST api using application certs. Once authenticated, the api will run as an admin user to Alfresco.
