An Introduction to the MetaCommunity.info fork of McCLIM (Overview - Initial Outline)

Ed. Note: This article represents a preliminary outline for an overview about the MetCommunity.info fork of McCLIM, focusing primarily on the YouTrack InCloud instance presently applied for management of the same fork project.

Pending subsequent revisions of this article,  this initial revision of the article may serve to provide, at least: Some web references onto task lists as created for and of the same project; an overview about YouTrack, in basic outline format; an overview towards the structure of a meta-IDE project developed under the MetaCommunity.info domain.

Items denoted wit {Bracketed Text} will be subject to revision, in subsequent versions of this article.
