The services have been changing, most notably Intake and the Localization
service as these are used by the folks at Collab. But the core hasn't
changed much since it was decoupled from Turbine.

If you look at what going on with Torque and the testbed you'll see what
Fulcrum will be like. Fulcrum is a pain in the ass to build, I am trying to
remedy that as we speak with the graph package in the commons, some jjar
code and the project descriptors in alexandria (gump proposal).

It will work by itself if you know what you're doing but it's not meant to
be used by itself. It can work alone but it really only workable solution
right now is having turbine-3 start it up.

It is evolving separately. There's might be a spot or two that have been
missed but it has been decoupled from Turbine though some of the code still
have "Turbine" in the name as not to break services in applications like
Scarab that are using turbine-3
