> > Hi PGI team,
> >
> >  some team members of the middlewares ARC, gLite, and UNICORE (AGU)
> found a
> > bit time to update their input documents to the PGI process:
> >
> > (1)
> > To ensure an open process, we put the updated version into the PGI OGF
> > space:
> >
> > A) strawman_rendering (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15628?nav=1)
> >
> > Note that the document has still some limitations such as:
> > a) job state model is not fully integrated and thus contradicts to the
> rest
> > of the rendering document since we also have some inputs for the
> discussion
> > of it in the next weeks
> > b) some formatting glitches: e.g. would be nice to have section
> headers,
> > numbered, the table of content contain sections down to level 5.
> > c) agreements only between ARC, gLite and UNICORE while a broader
> consensus
> > with the other interested members of PGI is missing (i.e. GENESIS,
> EDGES)
> > and to be discussed
> > d) still some open questions that should be discussed in the broader
> PGI
> > community
> >
> > B) strawman_functionality (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15736?nav=1)
> >
> > Note that this document only got a minor update.
> >
> > C) agu_jsdl.xml (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15737?nav=1)
> >
> > Focused on needed functionality - not existing JSDL with extensions.
> >
> > (2)
> > Since we don't want to interrupt the currently ongoing fruitful state
> model
> > discussions, we expect to continue with them and would suggest that
> members
> > of PGI collect feedback about these updated documents over the next
> > weeks/vacation period.
> >
> > Once the state model has been reasonable stable we can work on the
> feedback
> > of the updated documents together and come to agreements between us
> all.
> >
> >
> > (3)
> > Since we don't like an emerging specification that is not really
> implemented
> > we are about to start a reference implementation of it that might be
> > demonstrated at OGF or other conferences, including its changes
> following
> > from the open discussion process among the broader PGI community.
