perfsonar development work

["Matthias K. Hamm" <>]

Hi Nicolas,

regarding the plans for Perfsonar 3.0, we have the following comments:

E2Emon MP

   * LS registration support  - it is in our TODO list
   * Echo request support    - this too
   * Using authentication (?) - our colleagues from Erlagen are working
     on a PERL module for AA that we are planning to use
   * Using URL-based result codes - should be quite easy to adapt as
     soon as a specification is fixed
   * Using new SVN structure - requires a re-write of ANT - we can use
     the perfSONAR SVN (at least for the release candidates), but be
     are not using ANT at all 
   * Improve installation - is there a specification for the improved
     installation?
         o ANT or RPMs (tbd)
         o Admin pages
   * Documentation: functional specification, Installation action
     specification, interface specification (19/10), metadata
     configuration, sample configuration. - that means an update of the
     already existing documents?
   * Automatic push of data to the SQL MA via XML interface, as soon as
     a status change - as by now, there is no push mechanism defined in
     perfSONAR at all; this feature seems quite ambitious

E2Emon Visualisation

   * using the mLS - is there any implementation expected which can be
     used in Perfsonar 3.0?
   * changes due to web-service errors codes changes (?) - same comment
     as for E2Emon MP

Is there already a timeframe for the Perfsonar 3.0 release?

Cheers,

M&M
