[Architecture] Preferences Framework documentation

[Gregg Vanderheiden]

I already discussed this with Colin and we decided to consolidate in GPII wiki --  for a number of reasons.    The PGA was funded as a GPII effort.  There is much confusion arising around information being on multiple wiki's.     And there are other considerations as well.  

By the way, the GPII is meant to be a common workspace for all of the different projects and efforts from all of the countries -- and a neutral space not associated with any project or organization - but belonging to the consortium.  

There is more sorting to be done -- and Jutta, Colin, and I are still in the midst.   We'll include your comments when we talk next.

> Hi Gregg - I would prefer, and I believe I speak for Colin in this preference too (although he may contradict me when returning from holiday) that we kept material relating to the Preferences Framework (formerly named the UIOptions Framework) in Fluid's documentation space since this is relevant to more projects and communities than those comprised in GPII and Cloud4all proper. For example we have tended to manage PGA information in Fluid's wiki, and other such communities may arise.

In this way, the preferences framework is similar to the Infusion framework, or the recently created Kettle, which was just migrated out of GPII's universal project as I described last week.
