-This document describes what we intend to do. It may happen that our
-current implementation and the content of this document differ.

-In case of differences, it is assumed that this document is right
-and the implementation is wrong.
+This document describes application framework system daemon fundamentals.
+FCF (Fully Conform to Specification) implementation is still under development.
+It may happen that current implementation somehow diverges with specifications.
Introduction
------------
The daemon **afm-system-daemon** is in charge of installing
-applications on the system. Its main tasks are:
+applications on AGL system. Its main tasks are:
- - installs the applications and setup the security framework
- to include it
+ - installs applications and setup security framework
+ for newly installed application.
- - uninstall the applications
+ - uninstall applications

#### Method org.AGL.afm.system.install
-**Description**: Install an application from its widget file.
+**Description**: Install an application from a widget file.
-If an application of the same *id* and *version* exists, it is not
-reinstalled except if *force=true*.
+When an application with the same *id* and *version* already exists. Outside of
+using *force=true* the application is not reinstalled.
-Applications are installed in the subdirectories of the common directory
-of applications.
+Applications are installed the subdirectories of applications common directory.
If *root* is specified, the application is installed under the
sub-directories of the *root* defined.
-Note that this methods is a simple accessor to the method

+Note that this methods is a simple accessor method of

After the installation and before returning to the sender,
-***afm-system-daemon*** sends the signal ***org.AGL.afm.system.changed***.
+***afm-system-daemon*** sends a signal ***org.AGL.afm.system.changed***.
-**Input**: The *path* of the widget file to install and, optionaly,

+**Input**: The *path* of the widget file to install and, optionally,

Either just a string being the absolute path of the widget file:
