Much has progressed with The Platform Specification, as a result of some fantastic feedback from Kubecon North America (Salt Lake City) 2024!
Many and much thanks for the review and feedback goes out to (alphabetical):

The highlight of the changes to the specification and site are as follows:
- Kubernetes Structure: Specification has been restructured into a Kubernetes API/Kind style setup (with metadata, apiVersion, kind, etc...)
- Composability: Components of a Platform have been made composable, by breaking them out into multiple Kinds (such as Platform, Network, Environment, etc).
- Documentation: Major updates and refinement, discussing the various types of Platforms (from Infrastructure Platforms, to Developer Platforms, to Services ie Control Plane Platforms).
We have a new contributor to the project -- Jens Saade -- who has provided much needed review, fixes, and guidance.
Last but not least, we have our first SDK for Java, graciously authored by Jens Saade!
