The appearance and business logic of this application can be adjusted to the needs of a particular deployment by altering settings in the <code>models/000_config.py</code> configuration file on the server. Such adjustments can be minimal, or (more commonly) be extensive customization involving menus, forms, user roles, workflows, data models and even processing logic - so that Eden can be repurposed and adapted for many different use-cases and scenarios.

	~~Such adjustments can~~ be ~~minimal~~, ~~or (more commonly)~~ be ~~extensive customization involving menus~~, ~~forms, user roles, workflows, data models~~ and ~~even processing logic~~ - ~~so that Eden~~ can be ~~repurposed~~ and ~~adapted for many different use~~-~~cases and scenarios~~.		Rather than putting all these customizations into one server-side configuration file, they would normally be implemented as Python packages which are then imported as '''configuration templates'''. This way, complex custom configurations can be developed, tested and maintained away from the server - and can easily be shared and re-used in other deployments.

This way, complex custom configurations can be developed, tested and maintained away from the server - and can easily be shared and re-used in other deployments.		An '''Eden application''' is understood as such a re-usable configuration template (or a combination of templates), and '''Application Development''' is focused on these templates.
