<section name="What is Fulcrum?">
<p>
- Fulcrum is a services framework.
+ Fulcrum was originally created as part of the Turbine 3 effort. The idea
+ was to be able to decouple the services from Turbine 2 allowing them to be
+ used on both projects.
</p>
<p>
- Fulcrum was developed as part of the Turbine Framework. It is now
- decoupled and can be used by itself. Starting with version 2.2 Turbine
- will be able to use the decoupled Fulcrum to replace some of the services
- that are currently coupled to Turbine.
+ Fulcrum is currently evolving into a component repository for Turbine.
+ Each service is being converted into a stand alone component that can
+ be released independently of the other components. This will allow the
+ Turbine project to to release components as they change instead of having
+ to release everything at once.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section name="Container compatibility">
+ <p>
+ All components are compatible if Avalon's ECM container. Any dependancies
+ on other components, system properties, or context elements is clearly
+ documentmented in the docs for each component.
