For those in the thick of OSGi, it is easy to forget what it was like to get started, and what benefits are achieved at each stage. Drawing inspiration from the various SOA maturity models, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try to put together a modularity equivalent, and so the Modularity Maturity Model (M3) was born. The title says "Towards" because this is an initial proposal and so input from the audience (rocks, rotten vegetables, and maybe even faint praise) would be welcome.
