Hi all,

I have created a Wiki page to promote the development and deployment of a Tycoon hosted gLite cluster.

http://tycoon.hpl.hp.com/wiki/TycoonGlite

The idea is to post documentation and status updates so that everyone who is interested in this integration can follow the progress, and to make sure that work is not duplicated.

The web page contains a roadmap which currently looks as follows:

1. Synchronize Source: Creation of Wiki. Put latest version in Mercurial (2 weeks)
2. Set up Testbed: Install latest version and set up automated tests (2 weeks)
3. SLC 4.0: Auctioneers and VMs should be ported to run on Scientific Linux Cern 4. The delivery of this depends on whether a Xen port is necessary (2-6 weeks)
4. Custom VM images: Add support for gLite WN and CE images that can easily be reused when deploying a Tycoon gLite cluster (4 weeks)
5. Milestone Release 0.5.4: Tag the Tycoon version in mercurial that has support for gLite as described above (July 10-24)

I would like to encourage you all to send emails to Tycoon-D...@googlegroups.com if you have any questions regarding Tycoon and gLite.
If you make any progress on this effort it would also be good if you could add a note to the status section of the wiki-page.

I have also added a simple FAQ and proposed answers. Tycoon gLite developers: please feel free to update the answers as you see fit. Tycoon gLite users: please feel free to add new questions to the list.
