[AG-TECH] Granularity of saved information for sessions

[Thomas D. Uram]

Hi Brian:

The plan at this point relates to coordinating control of the services 
in a node, which implies a richer description of service capabilities, 
service advertisement and discovery, and interactive control.  Some 
applications look like they might blend this sort of functionality with 
the shared app support, so we'll have to consider that also. 

We'll be formalizing at least some of these ideas for the next 
development cycle, so it would be ideal to be able to consider your 
requirements beforehand.  Please do send them along, or file 
enhancements to current functionality in Bugzilla.

Tom
