side note: the pile of documents in this directory would benefit from some cleanup,
because it tends to get confusing to navigate it. e.g. we can render images programmatically
from the source rather than checking them in.
currently we're conflating or inconsistently separating two document types:
- meeting notes and design decisions (capturing point-in-time discussion that is append-only)
- technical specification such as architecture diagrams (which change over time to reflect current understanding)
we'll keep piling up for now, but ultimately if we need to do onboarding or hand-over
to new developers or contributors, this should be sorted out.
follows up from #31 to offer a data model focused on formalize to the point of incorporating any data attribute types to be stored in the `panel` db.
data model [requirements](https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/meta/src/branch/main/architecture-docs/data-model-requirements.md):
- [x] specifying [entity relations](https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/entityRelationshipDiagram.html#relationship-syntax) e.g. many-to-many
- [x] migrating both deployed and staged configurations
- [x] deploying of applications using the same versions
- [x] retaining relevant application state
- handling of application-specific migration logic, such as to rewrite URLs as needed - note this requirement does not affect the model here, in the sense it is handled through code rather than through the database
closes Fediversity/Fediversity#103.

facilitates using computer sorting to obtain a chronological order,
which makes it easier to find things.
note i also deleted a minutes file for a date that we had two copies for
in the repo.
