RE: GCE: March Meeting Task List



Thanks, Raj.  We are creating a template for Best Practices
projects, not a survey white paper.  I think that this paper
will be needed, but not until after we adopt and process
several BP projects.

However, Nimrod might be a good candidate for a BP paper.
Is this project in production and in use?  If so, and you
volunteer to write the BP summary.  At the last GF meeting,
I only accepted BP 'candidates' if there was a concrete
volunteer willing to write the BP paper.  The list of GCE
projects is rather large, and we are open to volunteers who
want to help do the work of gathering data.

once we assemble several well written BP summaries, and these
have been reviewed and accepted by the workgin group (at
GGF1, for example), then a summary White Paper could be a
useful result.  Sort of State-of-the-Art 2000 summary/snapshot.
