| Subject: | Q: What nucleus for KR1? |
One very important question I neglected to ask earlier: What nucleus should we build the system around?
[In general, I have found it desirable to create a single- function core module to get started -- the project's "Hello World" version. Adding on to that a bit at a time seems to be a good strategy for "organically" growing the system, especially when there is a plan for adding features on a regular schedule. (Where adding a feature is event-dependent, rather than time dependent. In other words, you plan on adding feature B when feature A is complete, not in month M.)
Adam identified a great nucleus for the DKR project, which I'm calling KR1 until the term gets deposed. What should be the elemental nucleus of KR1?
Sincerely,
Eric Armstrong
