RE: Computing Portals WG of JavaGrande

[Eric Sharakan - Sun High Performance Computing <Eric.Sharakan@East.Sun.COM>]

Mary, I am referring to the Computing Portals organization.  It's news to me if 
it isn't a Java Grande sponsored working group (certainly DATORR was)...

Anyway, I agree that folding that effort into related GF activities (especially 
this working group) makes sense.
