A system for asynchronous, distributed development.

Is is modelled around the concept of a Meem. A Meem has inputs and outputs called Facets. Meems may depend on each other.

A Meem is a unit of functionality.

Comprised of

• configurable properties
• Persisted state
• Lifecycle
• Facets for Meem communication
• dependencies on other Meems and depended on by other meems.

Facets are the way Meems communicated with each other.

Meems exist in one of several Lifecycle states.

A dependency defines a relationship between Facets of 2 Meems.

For a "strong" dependency, the Lifecycle state of the dependent Meem is affected by the state of the Meem depended on.

A hierarchical tree of categories and leaf nodes. Each node in Hyperspace is a Meem.

Modules that contain new featres. In this implementation meemkits are OSGI bundles.

Intermajik is a GUI for developing and managing Meems in a MeemSpace.

Run (uses Equinox OSGI framework) ...
