State of the Major Function in a new node of the network ...

Nodes oriented to devops groups
In nodes such as the common root sameboat.network, where the user groups are expected to be capable, the taxonomy and categories are delivered in a minimal configured state for subsequent user articulation.
Nodes oriented to other groups
General nodes such as the geonodes (e.g. ord.sameboat.network ) are fully configured according to the type of node, with a common starter taxonomy and categories which may subsequently be user modified or not as desired.
