Meeting Notes
-------------
  
  SAGA RG/WG conference call
  April 20, 2006

  Participants:
    - Stephan Hirmer
    - Shantenu Jha
    - Thilo Kielmann
    - Andre Merzky

  Topics:
    - issue list
      - topics marked as URGENT should be resolved before
        GGF if possible, at GGF latest
      - TODO ANDRE: send separate emails for issues to list,
        with proposals for resolution, or wikth call for
        such proposal
      - issues still open next week get discussed at call

    - stramwan dosucment status
      - apart from the issues (above), the doc needs
        editing (consistency, layout, typosetc.  We split the doc 
        in three parts:

        TODO Thilo:    intro, object, session, context, error, task
        TODO Andre:    monitoring, attribs, name space, files
        TODO Shantenu: logical files, jobs, streams

        More helpers would be VERY welcome (Tom? Hartmut? Pascal? 
        Others?)
      - synchronization point: Thursday, April 27
        (potentiall call on Friday).

    - SAGA and GridCRP:
      - got no input from GridCPR
      - acute concern is potential conflict with SAGA
        monitoring model
      - approach: check CPR use cases for monitoring
        conflicts, but leave CPR semantic (== new calls) for
        later
      - TODO Shantenu: ping Tom, otherwise review CPR use
        cases
      - TODO ANDRE: add issue for that point

    - SAGA and GridRPC:
      - some progress on mailing list
      - two potential point of conflict with current GridRPC
        API
        - config file exposes implementation on API level
        - varargs are used, which we did not consider yet
          (SIDL?)
      - these issues should be addressed at GGF17
      - apart from that, a RPC package (outside strawman)
        should be feasable between GGF17 and GGF18
      - TODO ANDRE: create CVS dir, set up package and issue
        list
      - note: RPC sata handles not yet considered
      - note: relation to web services need clarification
        (there are SAGA use cases for that)

    - AOB:
      - TODO ANDRE: check how the GGF17 workshop agenda can
        be updated online
      - the 4th GGF session should dedicate some time to
        planning of tutorial and cookbook material

Comments/corrections welcome!
