Low-level lego bricks, but not robolab/mindstorms designs. I think that
while positioning for larger syntheses and co-designs, working in a
loosely coupled fashion, with hooks into identifiable nodes, will
promote bottom-up interoperability. (03)
For example, if this mailing-list provides (ie, pushes at us) e-mail
messages with purple numbers exposed, these purple numbers will serve as
hooks into the identified and archived nodes (REST-visible). Our various
tools, client-side to begin with, can then grab these and impose our own
organizations on them. (04)
This seemed like something eekim and John Sechrest were working on: cf
