The mxm-server, mxm-ui, and mxm-doc modules were recently made direct subdirectories
to this repo. (Previously, they were submodules pointing to separate repos.)

WIP
The Mission Execution Mediation Service (MXM) effort seeks to provide a set of programmatic and user interfaces to integrate mission information across diverse mission execution systems at MBARI, as well as to support the integration of third-party applications, in particular to facilitate extended planning capabilities on MBARI assets
The proposed MXM interfaces will support a unified view of the information in terms of available mission definitions, parameterization, scheduling, and execution status.
The MXM ecosystem consists of the following components:
- MXM Server: the central MXM service where mission execution systems (providers) can be registered to expose all relevant mission information and capabilities for mission scheduling.
- MXM Webapp: The GUI for the MXM service.
- Providers: The external mission execution systems integrated into the MXM ecosystem. Each provider implements an MXM Provider API (in full or in part, depending on capabilities) to support this integration.
This is a parent repo that aggregates the various MXM components, builds and releases the integrated dockerized image, provides general information and pointers, and facilitates issue tracking at a general level. This overall organizational scheme is subject to change as the project progresses.
