The Goo - still alive and kicking

I've spent quite a lot of time catching trains in 2009 and as a result I've had lots of time to plan the design, implementation and evolution of The Goo.

Since I started this blog there has been some convergence on what I have in mind.

The following software contains elements of what I'm planning:
  • Google Wave
  • Git
  • Facebook activity feed
  • Atom
  • Plagger
  • Plack
  • Perl6
  • PubSubHubbub
  • AnyEvent
  • Remember the Milk / ToDo systems in general
  • Starcraft
Can you guess which bits?

Fortunately what I have in mind is much less complicated than all of these systems. Ideally it needs to be programming language agnostic and so a spec or RFC is in order - followed quickly by a prototype in Perl.

Hopefully the prototype will get some way to helping users find 'flow'. Stay tuned in 2010.
