# [Colony Framework](http://getcolony.com)
This project contains the base plugins that provide the rich functionality associated with the Colony Framework. Here you'll find everything from the HTTP server, to the Web MVC stack, the Build Automation infrastructure and everything else we call base.

The Colony Framework is an open source plugin framework specification. Implementations of the specification offer a runtime component model, that allows for plugins to be installed, started, stopped, updated and uninstalled without requiring the application container to be stopped. The specification relies heavily on the Inversion of control principle, in order to make it easier for application components to discover and interact with each other.

Colony aims to eliminate the complexity typically associated with the creation of modular applications, through a simplified unified model for component development. Practical applications can range from modular enterprise software to application mashing.
