The core library defines capabilities: features common to various websites.
For example, http://www.youtube.com/ and http://www.dailymotion.com/ both
provide videos; Weboob defines the "ICapVideo" capability for them.
Each module interfaces a website and implements one or many of these
capabilities. modules can be configured, which means that the end-user can
provide personal information to access the underlaying website (login/password
for example).
Each module interfaces with a website and implements one or many of these
capabilities. Modules can be configured (becoming a "backend"), which means
that the end-user can provide personal information to access the underlying
website, like a login and password.
Applications offer the ability to the end-user to work with many modules in
parallel, in a multi-threaded way. For example, one could search a video on
many providers websites. Applications are toolkit-agnostic. They can use Gtk,
Qt or text-only, more adapted to reuse data through pipes.

Qt or be text-only. The latter can be used either in an interactive way
or in pipes.
