[AG-TECH] AccessGrid 3: What information is available

[Brian Corrie]

Hi Tom,

Derek's comments are good ones...

One of the things we talked about at the retreat was understanding what 
AG 3.0 is going to look like. I think this is especially important for 
those that are developing shared apps and node services. Do you have any 
information on what is going to be changing? Any major architecture 
changes and/or API changed are specifically important.

Cheers,

Brian
