[AG-TECH] development directions

[Jennifer Teig von Hoffman]

Hi Ivan,

You'd suggested at the last town hall meeting that we send any 
questions/comments/etc to ag-tech, so here goes:

Given that design docs and a fully-functional alpha are due out soon, we 
seem to have run out of time for any substantial requirement gathering 
for AG 2.0. However, it does seem to me that there are a number of 
things wihch have come up repeatedly in the past as clear and necessary 
directions. Can you comment on which of these are slated for inclusion 
at this point? (I imagine others on ag-tech might want to chime in with 
other items too; this is not an exhaustive list, just the things which 
immediately occured to me.)

    * Workspace docking (especially given interest in that demo at SC02)
    * Visual indication of who is speaking at any given time
    * Voyager
    * Integration with other Grid services, such as Globus
