June 19

NCAR (Darin Oman)
stability to server needed to full time use... testing Shared Browser was 
done at end of meeting.

J&J (Lisa)
wanted to test shared presentation application... have folks testing 
software daily.

LBNL (Mike Elmore)
AG node versus individual participant was discussed... certificates can be 
copied for each machine rather than using individual participant certificates.

General Testing Notes
A bit of information regarding mailcap files, where they should be located, 
what there purposes are, was discussed.

So a few things were tested regarding applications.  NCAR, ANL (2 nodes) 
used the Shared Browser.  Users realized that the URL does not 
scroll.  Folks also realized that popup ads and animated websites can cause 
the application to fail.  As you know anyone can type in a URL and take 
control per se of the app.  Some of the popups and animations crashed the 
app to the extent of not being able to regain sync to a link someone added.

As a further test we tried typed in a URL that linked direction to a ppt 
file and see if advancement of slides could happen.  This failed.  Of 
course, this app doesn't wasn't intended for this.. but we were just 
checking out things.

Eric also ran quick Shared Presentation app and J&J joined this successfully.
