| 3 | We would like to ship Parrot as a relatively lean VM with a minimal core module |
| 4 | set, and move all additional module installation out to an external ecosystem. |
| 5 | This page is a very rough draft of a proposed module ecosystem for Parrot. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | As of mid-August 2009, we have reached enough general agreement on the initial |
| 8 | rough draft to begin coding a very simple prototype. It is believed that some |
| 9 | of the undecided objections to the current draft will be easier to address once |
| 10 | the prototype is operational. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | It is intended that the draft proposal and the prototype be iterated together, |
| 13 | eventually reaching the level that they (or successors, if we determine major |
| 14 | rewrites are needed) can be supported by the Parrot team. |
