Introduction

Hey, we're almost done with the demo, and we've done a heckuva lot of work. Now's the time to rummage back through the issues that we left along the road to the demo. I'm developing an 'outstanding issues' spreadsheet, to facilitate discussion. Please join in and record your thoughts here.

Topics for Discussion

Architecture

• Selection
• Connection
  • How should users connect to remote servers?
  • How much useful setup/environment information can be provided by an institution, like SNL, to make it easy for users to connect?
• Save/Restore
  • What operations should be supported?
  • How do we support offline operations?
• Environment variables/Settings
  • Directories
• Installation Management
  • How can we architect a useful 'usage statistics' plugin? Should it be a plugin, or is it the responsibility of institutions?
