perfsonar development work

[Jeff W.Boote <>]

Jay,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I have heard you plan to use  
MonAlisa to do your graphing and analysis, correct? So, the part you  
want from pS-UI is the data fetching API so you can potentially  
include it in a MonAlisa plugin. I would expect you to also want to  
make use of the data discovery API so you can find services/data of  
interest from perfSONAR.
