[UR-WG] Storage Accounting - Requirements Capture

[john alan kennedy]

Hi Jon,

I know some type of requirements capture is under way in EMI since I was 
passed questions from a DEISA contact.

I have asked similar questions to IN2P3 who deploy a large iRODS 
instance and also to iRODS developers.

Although EMI may not have iRODS on the roadmap I thought it would make 
sense for me to forward the responses I get before we meet in Brussels 
so you can correlate requirements - Would this be OK?

The iRODS responses raised a few issues, it shows that different people 
see things in a slightly different light.

I'd simple post to the list but if we start posting all the responses 
it'll get quite noisy.

I will also ask for input from OSG if we still need a better description 
of their storage accounting.

 From my point of view it would be nice if people could try to break the 
elements down into 3 brackets.
* Must Have - I really need this
* Very Useful - Can I please have
* Useful - but I can live without

We can ask - people generally don't though.

Just some though

cheers
johnk
