[acs-wg] OGSA roadmap input

[Michael Behrens]

The list of specifications needs to be expanded perhaps.  I am a little 
confused too on what kind of standards need to be listed.  I presume it 
should be those which the specification depends, not the 
implementation.  Suggestions?

I changed the "Excepted Users" section to say:

The ACS specification, to be developed by the ACS-WG, is expected to be 
use initially by the NAREGI project in Japan.   Generally, any job 
execution management implementations can begin using the specification 
by recognizing the ACS namespace for application content references and 
invoking the services to obtain the application and data.

I'd like to get this to Jem before Monday's OGSA telecon.

There are many potential circular dependency issues to work out if so;  i.e., if I am a service within the grid container, then I must reference and utilize certain base specification implementations that all grid managed services must so that I can be started, stopped, restarted, installed, removed, scaled and de-scaled.  If ACS is a service dependency to any of the just mentioned functions then we are awash in chicken/egg issues (what comes first, the chicken or the egg), and will we need to sort these out in order to produce the "referenced specifications" table.
