[Swift-devel] Try the "TrySwift" pre-release snapshot

[Michael Wilde]

Thanks, Ian - excellent ideas.  Notes below

+1.  (its a simple shell script at the moment; we'd like to recode in C, Python, R etc just to show the flexibility in a prospective user's "native" language.

> produced in earlier computations in later computations (?)

+2. We'll need to associate a file "workspace" with your session. And put limiters on what can be created, perhaps via directory quotas and file name restrictions. Initial we can just keep it simple and trust users. Its just a VM after all.

+1
 
> -- Where are the VMs?

At the moment, they are CI VMs.

> -- Link to CI Connect?

Plans for this are underway (also OSG Connect)
