[ogsa-wg] Roadmap v19 uploaded

[Hiro Kishimoto]

Hi Dave, Jem, and Takuya,

We have discussed how to update these two document at the August
F2F meeting.

 From the meeting minutes;

Personally, I prefer to bring this document back to section 4 and put
their version 2 document into section 5.

Given that OGSI is deprecated in favor of WSRF and WSN, I think their
version 1 document should not be included in the OGSA roadmap. Instead,
we should have version 2 description in section 5.

Thanks,
