Hi, to disable the excuse 'too long' for not reading the strawman API spec, we created a short version of the spec. It does not contain use case relation, notes, examples, and the detailed deiscussion of the API objects and methods, but only - intro etc - rationale for each subsystem - SIDL for each subsystem You can find the short version as pdf and txt on the WIKI: http://wiki.cct.lsu.edu/saga/ check the last links for the v0.2 version of the doc on the front page. However, please check the complete doc on any questions before complaining on the list, in particular when in doubt about call semantics.
