TIE Prototype

http://www.noosphere.org/software/tie_prototype

Description A perl groupware package which was written to quite closely implement the vision described as version 0.1 of TIE in the whitepaper.

Debriefing It had problems such as an overly rigid notion of what the entities were. My thirst for elegance prompted the move to a more knowledge-based approach: the Second TIE Prototype.
My current perspective is that I should have stuck with this code and explored the features especially unique to TIE: criteria and evaluations. Jumping ship offended both the Extreme Programming dictum: do the simplest thing that could possibly work and the Linux mantra: Release early, release often. Neither of had been articulated in print yet, AFAIK. Anyway, I was playing the better-is-better game rather than the worse-is-better game, so that's the trap, isn't it.
My partners did voice some concerns along these lines. Sigh.
