-An ad hoc RETE-network:
+An ad hoc RETE-network. Events are triggered by:
+  * discovery: ''joined(uid,flockr)'' / ''left(uid,flockr)''
-Events are triggered by:
+  * profile changes: ''changed(uid,flockr,updatedProfile)''
-  * discovery: joined(uid,flockr) / left(uid,flockr)
+  * friend changes: ''friendAdded(uid,flockr)'' / ''friendRemoved(uid,flockr)''
-  * profile changes: changed(uid,flockr,updatedProfile)
-  * friend changes: friendAdded(uid,flockr) / friendRemoved(uid,flockr)
 These events are received by the local flockr user object and propagated to all local proximities. Proximities translate these events into addUser / removeUser events to be processed by flocks. To process these events, flocks register themselves on their dependent proximity.
+As a first implementation of the RETE-network, maybe we can start from the oo matching that Tom implemented, so that functions are templates. For example:
+<code>
+def flockrTemplate := template: {
+  def name := *; // wildcard, can be anything
+  def age := constraint: { _ < 25 }; // must be younger than 25
+  def address := template: {
+    def street := *; // any street, but street name must be filled in
+    def city := "Brussel"; // city must equal this string
+// address may have arbitrary other data
+  };
+  def greet(); // person must have a greet method
+} taggedAs: [ Flockr ]; // object must be tagged as a Flockr
+</code>
 ==== Applications ====
+  * [[uf:appmgr|Application Manager]]: allows the user to view installed applications, launch apps and install new ones.
   * [[uf:viewer|Flock Viewer]]: a viewer and editor to view existing flocks and to create new flocks.
   * [[uf:iflocku|IFlockU]]: a friend suggestor based on profile similarity and time spent in proximity.
   * [[uf:guanotes|Guanotes]]: a messenger application that sends post-its to flocks.
-==== TODO ====
+==== To think about ====
-  * [[uf:persistence|Persistence]]
+  * [[uf:persistence|Persistence]]: saving/loading framework and application data and prefs.
   * [[uf:privacy|Privacy]]: restrict access of applications to a user's flocks
