Issue Summary
Reading through lots of tickets and discussions on the CRM-API group and in this issue queue I came up with a simple ER-style graph that sketches the current architecture of the party-module. I'm sure it's still incomplete but I think it already could help someone else. I'd also like to create a new corrected versions of it once there is some feedback.

This is awesome thanks!!! I think we'll look into it in more detail at our sprint in edinburgh tommorrow :D
#2
Have any modifications/improvements been made to this since Edinburgh?

Party type has gone.
#4
Party Pieces have gone. This picture is so awesome. Wonder if Yanniboi you can try and make a new version of this picture that is up to date?

> Party Pieces have gone
They haven't.
But they're just about display -- not part of the data architecture, so can be left off this diagram.

This looks like it was made in dia, so it could be versioned as xml ;)
#7
In which case, how about we put it up on github? Or actually, just as easy in a sandbox here.

I've started a site builder section of our docs here: http://drupal.org/node/1669650. Feel free to add to it :)

I've begun a lucidchart document here:
https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/view/4676-9be0-5006beb5-9cb9-71d30a...
We can edit this document in a realtime collaborative environment. All you need is a google account or something of the like. Folks can freely edit this document as long as we keep the total components under 50 items (not including connecting lines). I think that using a collaboratively edited ERD will be incredibly helpful in ensuring folks who are contributing to development understand the architecture and desired behaviour in one general, visual overview. That said, I don't know very much about ERD!
If anyone wants an invite to collaborate on this document, let me know! I can send an invite or add folks as collaborators

Thanks for putting up a new version of this. I was on vacation for the last 3 weeks so I couldn't take part in the discussion.
The original intend for this diagram was to show _all_ concepts that are/were used (anywhere) in party. If you find some bit of info on d.o or in the code you should be able to go to this diagram and get a grasp on what's meant - even if there is no 1:1 representation in the DB-model.

Indeed, it's been very helpful! I basically just copied what you had made in LucidChart so we could open it up to collaboration - the idea is that it could serve as a working draft specification for the ER structure of Party. We plan on posting this on the party site.

I've posted an editable version of my diagram on https://gist.github.com/3205540 .
