Venues 2.0 Client

[Thomas Uram]

I've been working on implementation of the Node Management 
infrastructure, and have been developing a client to exercise the 
infrastructure.  This has given me a good sense of what the Node 
Management client needs to do.

We should be able to have a productive discussion, with the different 
ideas and prototypes we have.  We should meet one day next week when 
Ivan and Bob are back.
