[atlas-l] [Search-l] Does anyone remember the atlas-l plans?

[jer]

Yeah, better question for this list :)

It's not much different conceptually, and if there is any innovation  
here it'll be somewhere in the details and application of the model,  
not in the overall structure.   With the goal being to ultimately  
have many independent organizations doing their own "thing" but being  
able to interop in a network of other entities to provide search  
functions, it's probably not surprising that a common pattern like  
MVC takes form.

I also apologize I haven't been nudging Atlas forward in general  
lately, but I really feel good about a lot of the infrastructure work  
going on and that most of it will really help in experimenting with  
and evolving the ideas around Atlas.
