Technical Information

The Fluid Project architecture is intended provide an infrastructure that enables rich customizations of an application's user interface appearance and behaviour based on the needs of both institutions and individual users. It is designed to form the basis for a new presentation layer that is compatible across a suite of community source applications including Sakai, uPortal, and Kuali Student. It is envisioned that this technology may also eventually be integrated into other open-source applications such as Moodle. The goal of this architecture is to help improve the consistency, usability, accessibility, and localization of user interfaces and to facilitate the broader sharing, refinement, and testing of UI components.

In-depth information on the Fluid architecture as it was first proposed along with a description of our agile development process is available. We encourage your comments and feedback regarding all aspects of the application architecture; you are invited to track the architecture as it evolves and to get involved and help with the development of Fluid. For more information, please join our mailing lists or contact , the Fluid Project technical lead.
