This is great content. We're very interested to see people's ideas for extensions,
and happy to see development effort. <br>
There are a few things I'd mention re: the diagram and notes:<br>
<ul>
<li>The VenueClient interacts with the NodeService, but not with ServiceManagers</li>
<li>Each Node runs one NodeService which communicates with the ServiceManager
running on each of the other machines in the node (those Other machines don't
run NodeServices)</li>
<li>The NodeService communicates directly with Services in the Node</li>
<li>The description for ServiceManager seems to describe the NodeManagement
user interface; a ServiceManager is software that runs on each machine in
a node for controlling execution of Services</li>
<li>The description for Services says that the VideoProducer runs multiple
copies of vic, but it's actually one vic per VideoProducer. So, a video
machine with four capture cards would run four VideoProducerServices (and,
therefore, four copies of vic).</li>
</ul>
I hope this helps clarify some issues. If you have any questions, please
ask.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre wrap="">2 quickie web pages I whipped up as a result of stuff at the retreat:
First is just a list of services that we thought might be cool to see. I'm
currenty working on the CorkBoard one. If anyone else has suggestions, I'd
be happy to add them to my list.

Second is a description of the major components at work in the new AG 2
software, with a pretty diagram showing how they fit together. I'm not at all
sure that I got everything right, so I'd definatelly appreciate those who
actually know the innards takin a look. If people think this is usefull, I'll
write it up in a suitable format for AGDP.
