[Edmonds, AndrewX]

Hi Gary - I've just created a test user and assigned it the same permissions as you have. Using the account I've been able to successfully edit the wiki, add/remove attachments. I've reset and re-applied your permissions also.

Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Quick OCCI Update

Before anyone hops on the snia bandwagon as an advocate, we need to assess the "level" in cloud architecture that the snai api addresses. We need to ask the question is their api an IaaS level api or  focuses at some other level. Or have we relegated ourselves to throwing everything we can find in a rubbish heap ?

Incorrectly positioning functions and features can/will adversely affect success of the IaaS interoperability specification and the implementability of the OCCI IaaS api.

I have included a diagram with a proposed division of responsibilities for each cloud layer.

If someone would like to add it the to wiki for comment, it would be appreciated. ( my occi wiki permissions aren't quite right)

Comments welcome, as aways.
