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 -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ |Dr. John Alan Kennedy Rechenzentrum Garching (RZG) | |Mail:jkennedy@rzg.mpg.de Boltzmannstrasse 2 | |Phone: +49 89 3299 2694 85748 Garching | |Fax: +49 89 3299 1301 | +------------------------------------------------------------+
