The structure of this app is deliberate.

/app holds the core business objects. These are directly TDD'd from the spec/app directory. They don't know they are being used by a server at all.

/client holds the client-side scripts. It's compiled down into server/public/js so that the server can serve it.

/script holds utilities for running the server and the tests.

/server is a separation of concerns. All server-specific code goes in here. It's mostly wiring the business objects together and responding to server-y events.

/spec holds all of the unit (/app) and integration(/server) tests. Currently, the integration tests are incomplete.
