Minerva is a Python web application that provides an open 'Noun Space' for collaborative authoring of various, rich content types that may be interwoven. The concept of a 'Noun Space' is derived from the REST architectural style. Under REST, each segment (or noun) in a URL path should act as an identifier for a specific object. For example, if a user types '/foo/bar/baz' into her location bar and no object is found, she is given an opportunity to create something new there. There is no requirement for objects to previously exist at either '/foo' or '/foo/bar'.

The initial implementation is on Google App Engine, but ports onto Twisted/Axiom and CouchDb are planned.
