FL Access Grid Nodes

[Ivan R. Judson]

I agree completely.

We're working on this as our top priority. Here are the issues we're
chasing:

1) Our nodes
	- including the need for a node that we can do experiments with
(sangwoo's at least, if not audio too)
2) Server stability 
3) The summer release is only 3 development weeks

We're not sitting idle, in case the lack of activity concerned you :-). But
we're a skeleton crew, Bob is 50%+ seed, and Eric and Tom are gone, so as a
team we're at 50% availability (at best, considering I'm driving kids thus
having to work at home this week). Our availability is what's hindering
progress, plus system mgmt issues we need to address. In at least one case
we're blocking on administrative things that only Ti can do (server
stability is actually one of those).
