  <h2>Usage</h2>
  <p>Using ExDateMan is easy. Just follow these steps:</p>

    <li>Create an inventory or open an existing one.</li>
    <li>Pick a thing or create a new one</li>
  </ol>

  <h2>Definitions</h2>
  <p>ExDateMan uses specific words with closely defined meanings:</p>

  <h3>Inventory</h3>
  <p>
    The term Inventory refers to a distinct collection of things which is
    defined by its unique set of owners.
    <br />
    Each inventory has an owner. Other users may also be allowed to view or edit
    the inventory or its contents, depending on their role in a given inventory.
  </p>

  <h3>User</h3>
  <p>Someone who is registered in the ExDateMan service. Each user has:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>A user-name (used for easy identification)</li>
    <li>An email address (used for authentication and identification)</li>
    <li>A passphrase (stored securely; used for authentication)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>
    Furthermore, each user can have one relation per inventory, which is
    governed by the users role in said inventory.
  </p>

  <h3>Role</h3>
  <p>
    A role governs a users rights in any given inventory. A user may have one or
    zero roles per inventory. <br />
    If a user doesn't have a role in an inventory, the inventory doesn't get
    displayed to the user.
  </p>

  <h3>Thing</h3>
  <p>
    The term thing refers to something stored in an inventory, though not as a
    piece.
  </p>

  <h3>Stock</h3>
  <p>
    Every stock is an instance of a thing, and associated with one. One thing
    can have as many or as little (including 0) stocks as needed. <br />
    Each stock has:
  </p>
  <ul>
    <li>Expiration date</li>
    <li>Date opened</li>
    <li>Use up in (days)</li>
    <li>Quantity</li>
    <li>Percentage left</li>
  </ul>

  <!-- <h3>Category</h3>
  <p>
    Every inventory can have categories. Every category can be the parent of
    other categories, allowing for the formation of sub- and super-category
    structures.
