[DRMAA-WG] DRMAA-OCCI Document Status

As the Redmine project page says, you can clone the repository with the specification document sources:

git clone http://redmine.ogf.org/git/standards/applications-area/drmaa-wg/drmaav2-occi-binding.git

Please note that this is a document under work. Furthermore, the OCCI-DRMAA standardization is currently suspended, since the OCCI guys need to improve at some points first. One example is the currently missing pagination support in OCCI. You find according comments in the TEX file.

Read the current document, take nothing for granted, and come back with your ideas :) 

Beside that, what about DRMAAv2 support in your projects ? Any language bindings you need to have beside C and OCCI ?

Best regards,
Peter.
