perfsonar development work

[Stijn Melis <>]

Hi Maciej,

as Roman said, I can help you along if you have any questions regarding 
the SSHTELNET MP. Feel free to ask.

However, I did not make those soapUI scripts, and I don't have a lot of 
experience with soapUI, so if you have questions about that, you're 
probably better of contacting the person who made those scripts. I'm not 
sure who that is though, sorry...

Cheers,

Stijn
