If you would like to know more about this software, the problem areas that it addresses and the philosophy behind it and some of the work that we do, here is a really interesting podcast with the lead developer/architect, Nick Lothian. There is a great discussion on open source more generally too.

It’s been an interesting task - DSM is a mature product with years of development behind it. That has the benefit that it is stable and well tested (it has supported millions of searches per year for a number of years now), but the code wasn’t designed with modularity in mind.
