Kettle is the Fluid Project's experimental server-side platform, based on node.js.

The homepage for Kettle is at http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Kettle, with issue tracking at http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/KETTLE .

Kettle operates by executing Fluid Infusion and jQuery on the server-side, by means of jsdom and some other integration libraries.

Installation instructions:

Firstly, install node, and, if you like, npm.

Secondly, read the instructions for node.js module resolution - when running, kettle will expect to see the following modules in node_modules (lhs is npm name, rhs is git source)

htmlparser    git://github.com/tautologistics/node-htmlparser.git
jsdom         git://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom.git
request       git://github.com/mikeal/request.git
cssom         git://github.com/NV/CSSOM.git
fluid-xhr     git@github.com:fluid-project/xhr.git
