 1. Create XML configuration in AppData folder
 +  Store database in Documents folder (or customized location)
 +  Add Module Manifest file

++  Install to __Program Files (x86)__ directory
+
 Configuration will include:
 
 * [Service factory] type
     * Location of database file
 * Root location of audio files (single directory or multiple?)
 
 Module Manifest will include:
 
 * Required assembly references
 * Helper functions (exported)
 * [Beta API changes] to PS API

+Install to Program Files directory:
+
+* In order to simplify deployment and provide a GUI application, I am going to install the module to its own program files directory
+* A shortcut will load the module into its own PowerShell command prompt
 
 I do not plan to include help documentation. The PS syntax auto-generated by PowerShell v2 is sufficient for users familiar with PowerShell and I am not targeting others yet. Also, I need to take a look at generating the help documentation files.

-I do not plan to reimplement the underlying Cmdlet code that is in place. Currently, the alpha commands are implemented to directly call into the SQLite database. I don't see a reason to change that today. After the items above are into a Beta release then refactoring will be put on the roadmap. I need to decide some basic architectural things depending on how much effort I want to put into this balanced by how much fun I am having building it.
+I have decided to tackle adding a bit more abstraction to the underlying code than previously considered. Including the configuration of a type of [Service factory] gives me the ability to move in the future from a local database to a cloud-based service and does not significantly change the amount of work involved. The result will be something much more flexible, opening this up to more than just a Windows PowerShell client. I think that would be cool. Hey, I would like to run this on my [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/ "Get Ubuntu") machine was well.
