Your right Rodrigo, except that it's the other way around (module >
app) :-). A module in Abovo is a group of apps (app = one page
controller). All of the dirs in Abovo/App[1] are modules. Every app
needs to extend one module. This way you can share logic among a
module.

I'm just about to rewrite the front controller. I'm happy to answer if
you have any other questions about my implementation.
